Should I rent a place in NYC for my SA gig?

Incoming 2021 SA at an EB near midtown, NYC. My family is already based out of Queens, NYC. So as the question suggests, is it still going to be worth it to rent out a place closer to the office during my SA gig? My commute to the office is going to be around 40 mins each way on the train. Is it worth it to pay the extra 3/4k for the summer in order to save the commute time?

Absolutely not....

Actually, do it. Then PM me your parents' info so I can live with them and jerk off each night in your bedroom while I save that money... lmao
