> The price of a house grows exponentially with the minimum travel time to a metropolis from it.

10 minutes away: $1,000,000

20 minutes away: $2,000,000?

60 minutes away: $32,000,000?

P_0 * exp(-k*d)

Where P_0 is the price in the heart of the city, d is the effective distance to the heart of the city and k is a factor to get units matching up.

Usually saying one quantity "grows with" another quantity would mean that one rising causes the other to rise, not fall.
