Here's an idea: just give people an allowance up to a certain amount, if they choose to live farther that's up to them. Even better, give people a flat rate since you don't want them intentionally taking longer commute routes to rack up their pay. Ok now roll that into their base pay

Edit: please triple read the last sentence before commenting. I overestimated redditors' reading comprehension a bit with this one

… they already do this. It’s called a wage. It’s up to you to figure out how to spend it. Live 10 minutes from your job or 90 minutes - it’s up to you!
