correct.

I recall when i was a regional airline pilot a few years ago, I worked in Dallas, but lived about 90 miles away.

why dont i just move to Dallas?

a. because the cost of living is much higher in those areas for rent etc
b. because my wife already had a decent job locally
c. at a meager $19,000 per year i could barely afford to drive to work, let alone move to a place that would likely double my rent.

the attack on oil is not the answer.

we need a 10 year plan to independence from oil.

and i think BO could have done a good job to give that bailout money to a new on the scene car company to produce all electric and hybrid vehicles.

and then use a rebate program to encourage their purchase.

would have worked... and put us years ahead of schedule on that 10 year plan
