> Doubt there's much public transit out that way. Only 30 miles to a town I might be able to get a job in, though...
Lots of people in the SF area and lots of other big cities have commutes of 30 miles or more. And I'd bet the traffic on those commutes is a lot worse, so 30 miles in the Laketon area is likely equivalent to maybe 10 miles in SF.
I'd expect entertainment and cultural events are limited in Laketon, but it's a 100 mile drive to Indianapolis and 140 mile drive to Chicago. With all that you'd be saving on housing compared to SF weekend getaways to those cities should be affordable.
