I always find this countryside living and long commute chat completely bizarre. I have a 20 minute cycle ride across Norwich, which I almost exclusively do outside of rush hour because I work flexibly and hate drivers, and even that is almost too much some days. Walking into the centre when I feel like it, shopping at the market, having friends nearby with minimal barriers to spending time with each other, contributes massively to my happiness. I could never go live in a bigger house in the middle of buttfuck nowhere outside of some kind of post apocalyptic self reliance situation.
I dunno if I'm the weird one or everyone else is insane, but I agree generally with pick the location that you need and make the space you can afford work.
