I'm also surprised that it's cheaper to pay for gas/car maintenance
required by four hour daily commute than it is to pay a little extra rent.
I have a friend with three kids who all lived in one small studio. To compensate, he bought a family membership at the local Y. They basically went to the Y for recreation and to do homework, and came home to sleep and eat. Rent was cheap; no commute; and a family membership at the Y did not turn out to be a huge expense.
