they'll pick the most efficient option-- to them, it's not "people HAVE to live this far away or less". it's "alright, who lives the farthest away and are potential new hires closer". basically, they'd define "near" based on where employees live and where job applicants live.
it'd result in a world where the people who can afford to live closer than their coworkers are the people with more job security. it'd be more wealth inequality
