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.
