In South Florida, the farther you go from Dadeland South it will take exponentially more time to commute. Way down here in Homestead there has been a massive explosion of housing deserts, so much that nearly all the available unprotected land is used up now. Commerical zones are packed with low value corporate retail down here. The expressways are a nightmare since so many people must travel to Miami for work. It's such a waste of time, not to mention vehicle costs. It's a nightmare for students that must travel to Miami Dade Medical campus also, as I had to. Have you ever tried to spend 4 hours a day studying while the bus or train is wrenching your neck and back the whole time slamming breaks and slamming acceleration? Don't get me started on the noise and lack of space to work.
