Right, we generally have terrible housing policy, but I still don't see an articulated theory of how employers should compensate workers that make different choices. Like, the low paying jobs that don't have nearby housing options probably do have to increase compensation to make up for the lack of housing options. Why is it good policy to force the employer to treat the commute as part of the work day vs working to improve the generally available housing and transport options?
