Commute times in Hauppauge -how bad?

Random thought, I'm a remote worker and It's a a small town city with about 20,772 people. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Has anyone dealt with this? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

I've lived in Oak Park for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Cost of living is very reasonable

- Good internet infrastructure

- The cultural scene scene is better than expected

The downsides:

- Summers can be brutally hot

- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Feel free to reach out with questions..
