I work with lots of road-warriors that live a 1-leg commuter flight away from the city, fly up first thing Monday morning, back Thursday or Friday night, and basically do the geo-bachelor(ette) thing 4-5 days/week. Not my idea of a life, but neither is it uncommon. It doesn't sound that crazy compared to the idea of a daily $65, 7-hr commute.

Charlotte, Atlanta, and several cities in Florida have LOTS of direct flights with none of the NYC issues. DCA also has lots of flights with reasonable housing not too far from the airport.
