And moving house to be near a job, especially one like Heathrow,

a walk in the park.
It's something that vast numbers of people did in the past, and that a
lot of people still do. I've done it myself.
Not quite so easy if you have a spouse who also works and kids who go to
school.
Are they supposed to just up sticks because you've had enough of your
commute?

I repeat, it's something that lots of people have done, and lots of
people do do, so is clearly not completely unreasonable. A family is all


Yes - they're normally in their 20s and short term renting with no
commitments.


no they are not

lots of people move house to enable them to take a better job


Yes, lots of young unattached people. When someone is settled with a family
then moving any great distance is something you only do if you really need
if the gain really outweighs the pain. Obviously if you're only moving a few
miles then its not a big deal.

and many of them have families to move as well


Some do, most don't unless they're selfish ****s and #1 always comes first.

The compromise is you lump the commute or find a nearer job.


If those are the choices, then why did they take the job in the first place?


Perhaps when they first took it the commute wasn't so bad but now the traffic
or trains are impossible. Or they needed the money so badly they took anything
to pay the mortgage/tent.

Moving house
when you have a family with kids in school is very much a last resort.


well of course

that doesn't mean that people don't so it


Of course not, just the majority don't.
