Is your commute public transport or driving? Is there a big price difference?
If it's public transport, City 1 no question. My coworker and I had this same option, I chose to live near the city center where stuff is happening, and she chose to live near work. My commute is ~50 mins on public transport, and her's is like a 10 minute walk. But she never ever ever comes out to do stuff anymore because it's a hassle to get back at late/weird hours. Also living in a vibrant city that you enjoy is so much better for your outlook than staying somewhere dull that you only sleep.
But if it's an active commute like driving, I don't have the perspective necessary (still lean towards city 1 though)
