Ha ha, that's one of the conundrums of the suburbs. Originally, the companies were located in the urban city cores. People went home to the "burbs" to get away from the city.

Then something happened along the way. As we abandoned the urban cores, companies started to locate in the burbs too. Next thing you know, you are driving from burb to burb to get to work.

If I switched my parent's house with my house, I'd get back to a 2 mile commute. I would need to get a honking AC for them, though, because it's hot as Hades where I am in the summer. If I were them, I wouldn't make the switch.
