I've stayed out of this until now, however, commutes can vary greatly. I've had as little as a 1.5 mile commute and as much as a 55 mile commute. I have friends that commute up to 93 miles *each way* every day. It seems to me that, for three or four months, a long commute would certainly be a livable situation. I really doubt that anyone staying for the Olympics will want to be 50 miles out of the city. I live in a certain place and I work X miles from my house, but, if my company closes, I get laid off, or whatever, there's no guarantee that I'll find a job withing "y" miles of where I live - this is a very similar situation but instead of a job moving, it's the apartment, and, it's only temporary. -Carl-
