Living in Manhattan is not a right. I don't see anything wrong with a shorter commute being more expensive. I would very happily pay more for services that get more expensive because workers demand higher wages for their longer commutes (etc.), in exchange for the drop in market-rate rent (which I pay) that would come from throwing out rent regulation.
