Cons of living in Yanjiang
- A strong job can still be undermined by the commute
In a very large city, job location and housing location should be evaluated together. A cheaper address can stop being a saving if the normal commute consumes too much time or money.
- Trying to cover the whole city can waste a short trip
At this population scale, the safest planning assumption is that you will not experience the whole city in one compact visit. Choose a few anchors, cluster them by area and pick accommodation around the journeys that matter most.
