Should a Houlihan Lokey Houston employee live Downtown because of long work hours?

Quick answer

Not automatically. Downtown can provide an extremely short commute to Houlihan Lokey, but Grant still prefers Lower Heights and Greater Heights for many recent graduates because they offer stronger social environments while keeping Downtown accessible. Long hours can actually make the home neighborhood more important because free time is limited. Grant would choose Downtown when walking to work is a top personal priority, not simply because the employee works long hours.
