The counterpoint gets far more absurd. Should you expect to be able to move to a different state and have the employer fly you to work and back each day, or would that be entirely unreasonable?

It's not an unsolvable problem. Free bus passes for people who live close enough to ride a bus, and some kind of sliding scale beyond that.

Or look up the national average or industry average or metropolitan area average commute time/distance, and build something around that.

Or give a $1000 stipend to every employee to either spend on gas for daily commutes or two flights a year to come visit.

Could certainly figure something out if there was sufficient motivation to do so.

The employer could choose not to employ anyone who lives more than X distance away. Many already do.
