I can't speak to commuting northbound in the mornings, but this time of year always sucks for commuting south or west during rush hour due to the sunset. Until daylight savings time hits the sun is at the perfect level on the horizon to be a giant shark with a laser beam on it's head.

When buying a house with a commute in the equation try to buy east of your job. That way the sun is always to your back.

the thought of working at the same place for as long as i plan to own a house makes me jittery. a house you’re gonna have for a long time but a job can move around, relocate, get pulled out from under you, etc.

The secret is to live east of everywhere. That way everything is west of you so you'll never commute into the sun.

Unless you work night shift! Sun and traffic are always in my favor on my commute! If I worked days I’d be cursing the whole ride though. There’s nothing worse than that blinding sun on the horizon when you’re driving. Obscuring traffic lights, cars, signs, everything. Can’t see shit. Ugh. I tell you what, I’d be looking for another job if I had to deal with that malarkey twice a day.

Lol this is some of the shittiest advice I’ve ever heard. There at least 5,000 other things higher on any homebuyer’s priority list than this.

Can confirm. I travel east in the mornings and west in the evenings, it’s brutal
