Density provides many benefits. For example - how much is an hour worth to you? How many hours a day do you commute? How many hours are just sitting in a car watching traffic (or the countryside) driving back and forth to work? That certainly isn't a zero dollar impact.
It would be nice if telecommuting was an option, but even most computer-based programming positions don't have a lot of telecommuting flexibility.
