Why would you commute for 6 hours for $200 when you could stay in a hotel during the week? What's the point in going "home" to sleep?

The thought-experiment that started this thread assumes that rent in SF would reach $750K/year if salaries were $1M/year. Hotel rates are unlikely to stay at $200/night if rent is $750K/year. If they rise proportionally, expect hotel rates of ~$4000/night at that price level.
