The commute I'll have isn't ideal, but my job in IT doesn't completely mesh with my wife's desire for land and a farm. Compromise is part of every aspect of life.
I would encourage you to actually run the numbers for yourself. Simply saying that something is illogical doesn't make it not true. Perhaps his numbers aren't quite accurate for you, so change them and see what it is actually going to cost you.
