    Sounds like commuting is an incredibly stupid and inefficient waste of time. Maybe this hypothetical company would get better performance from their employees if they didn’t have a commute. Maybe letting them work from home?

      I rented for a long time so I could always easily move close to wherever I was working. I don’t like long commutes, so I always kept it under 5 or 10 minutes. I know others that did something similar, but with homes.

      People can choose how long of a commute they are willing to put up with. It’s up to the company to put their office in a place where people actually want to live. They can’t expect to have people wanting to show up to an office in an area that no one likes… this is the issue my company has, because they are always looking for a deal.
