Yah, but the chances of wanting to go to the gym after an hour commute is less likely because you are exhausted. Some people may do that, but I bet the majority wouldn't.
I would gladly cut my living space by 1/3 to reduce my commute time by a significant amount. Currently, my fiancee's commute is 5 minutes, mine is 20-25 min depending on the bridge. When we were looking at places like Port Moody and Coquitlam to live in, we tried the commute after work once and those places were immediately nixed.
We also have to remember that not all people work in Vancouver. If people are looking for more space and a lower mortgage, it may be advantageous to see if there are work opportunities in the Valley within their industry. Being able to purchase a house, and have a short commute is where it is at.
