Personally, I'm just not a commuting person. It's a waste of 2-3 (or more!) hours of your life everyday, if you live in Atlanta. Yuck. Just live in the city if you work in the city. If you live in the suburbs, get a job there or telecommute. I know this isn't practical in every area, but in the Atlanta area, there are places to live in a variety of price ranges in the city and out. (And even if you have a job downtown and prefer the country, when do you get to see the country if you have to leave so early and get home so late? Just live in town and take weekend trips out or something ...) JMO.
