In the past two days, a Fujian girl named "Bin Bin" has become popular. Her experience of buying a house in Kunshan, Jiangsu and working in Shanghai has aroused heated discussions among many netizens. The commute cost of more than 1,000 yuan a month is more than that of her colleagues in Shanghai. Less commuting time has added a new footnote to the gradual realization of "two-city life".
So how long can you accept a daily commute?

Referring to Binbin’s own commute time, walk 6 minutes from home to the high-speed rail station, take the high-speed rail for 17 minutes, then transfer to the subway for 20 minutes, and walk 8 minutes to the company after leaving the station. The total time is only 51 minutes. It was shorter than the time many of her Shanghai colleagues had to commute from home to work.
Although Binbin did not disclose where he bought his home in Kunshan, Jiangsu, Ma Zangbo in the property market found a neighborhood called Fengjingyuan, which is the closest to Kunshan South Railway Station.
I checked the house price on Lianjia.com. The price per square meter in this community is about 15,000 yuan. The total price of a 90-square-meter apartment is in the early 1.3 million yuan, which is almost equivalent to one-fourth to one-fifth of the same apartment type in downtown Shanghai. The price of one, it is no wonder she will buy a house in Kunshan.
However, Binbin still wants to save some money to buy a small apartment in Shanghai after working for a few years. Even if it is a little further away, it can be considered to have a home in Shanghai.
"Twin Cities Life" is not far from us.
There was once a video blogger in Hebei who made a video of his daily trip to and from Beijing to go to work and posted it online. The general content is: get up at 6:00 in the morning, go out to catch the high-speed train at 7:00, transfer to the subway after arriving in Beijing and take another hour, and then 15 It takes nearly 2 hours to commute to the unit located on the second ring road by a shared bicycle in minutes, and the monthly commute cost exceeds 3,000 yuan.
However, he himself said that it is also a little more economical than renting a house in Beijing, and he can pay off the loan on the house in Hebei faster.
In the real estate market, there is also such an example. A colleague from Zhenjiang comes to Nanjing to work by high-speed rail every day. It takes about 20 minutes from Zhenjiang South Station to Nanjing South Station, and then takes 7 subway stops to Yuantong Station. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the unit, just in time for the 9 o'clock punch.
A daily commute of less than 50 minutes may be more convenient than a colleague living in Xianlin.
However, "two-city life" will also bring trouble to people's work under the epidemic.
Binbin, a Fujian girl, said that because of the epidemic that started in March this year, public transportation between Shanghai and Kunshan had been suspended for a while, and the choice for her was to stay in Shanghai and "reside" in the company, or go back to Kunshan and wait for notification.
The colleague mentioned above could only stay at home in Zhenjiang to "work from home" during the epidemic.
To sum up, "two-city life" can temporarily solve the high-cost home ownership threshold in big cities, and bring people less pressure to buy a house, but what needs to be paid is the commuting time of two or three hours a day and a monthly 1,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan. commuting expenses, will you buy a cheaper house in the periphery of the working city like Binbin?
