  1. Here is an alternative. As long as work can be done from a computer, make it mandatory home office? This way, people can move into the countryside, further away from the cities and commute not for work, but for leasure. Affordable housing? Well, countryside is more affordable than the city. You need a personal car anyway, if you want to hold down a job (your boss will not care, you missed the bus, or that you'll have to wait for an hour after the shift ends for the return trip. Furthermore, bosses will never pay you for the time spent on commuting to and from work, even though that could be considered work activity, as you are moving to the place, where you do what you do) even in a city, so you'll have to have it. The difference is, by working from home, you're no longer a daily driver, you're a weekly driver. Meaning you'd also cut CO2 emmissions without pissing off half the electorate... Win for the worker, win for the family, win for the environment and the only one, who looses out on this, are micromanaging managers, who'll lose their primary justification for existing, meaning the companies will come leaner.

  2.  @innosam123  Then let's make commute time as paid work time. You'll see home office return in force.

  3.  @TheNanoNinja  Note that I say, "As long as work can be done...", yes, there is work, that can't be done like this. However, we're being forced back into office even for roles, which don't interact with anything other than the computer. Things are worse, than what would allow to take your consideration into account.
