People are already incentivized to live far from their jobs because of HCOL near their workplaces. Also, it would be nice if people's choices were as binary as this line of thinking seems to suggest. It seems to me that many people would rather have a shorter commute either way.

Yes. But if further incentivized to have a longer commute, they would (in aggregate).

That's great, thanks.
