I see they factor in commute times and weather. I never heard that the commute was that bad in Detroit area. Also, some of us LIKE the weather here.
I do not share your affinity for the weather. IMO it sucks! There are about three months out of twelve that are OK. (I came here from Calif so I'm probably a little spoiled that way)
You're right about that. Weasther preferences are nearly entirely subjective.
