I think the business doesn't really care where you live.

I have made decisions to live close to my offices, not just for commute but because I consider myself responsible to go in when things break and spending 1.5hrs commuting won't do that.

When I priced it up when I lived in London it came out to be about the same cost to live closer to the office than to commute even with public transport (which is not horrendously expensive) -- assuming I paid myself what my boss would pay me for my time commuting.

I know Palantir at least have explicit bonuses for living within some distance of the office. It can’t be that uncommon.
