Let's not forget Kevin lives in NYC part time. It's very easy to go carless there. 1,000's of people already do.
This would not work in 80% of american cities. Period.
2nd point: people saying MOVE CLOSER TO YOUR JOB is total BS. You should never move for your job. I had 3 jobs in 6 years... I'm supposed to move every 2 years? AND they were all over the county. Ridiculous advice.
If you want to live close to your job you don't apply for jobs that are an hour drive away.
I suppose we could all - and I know this is crazy talk but hear me out - accept the fact that we all have different preferred lifestyles and no particular lifestyle is the right choice for everyone.

So you won't move across the city for a job but will move across the country.

Yep totally makes sense.
A lot of companies will pay or partially pay for relocation expenses, but will not do so if you reside in the MSA of the work place. You also cannot deduct the move from taxes if under 50 miles.
Not many people are moving long distances for work three times in six years on their own without company sponsorship.

Depends on the job I guess.....
Typically when people move across the country for a job it's for a reason strong enough to uproot yourself and move away. Like a huge pay bump, promotion, opportunity, etc...
If you move across the city for a job and then get offered a better job on the opposite side of the city you're back to square one of having to commute again so the potential for any benefit could be minimal depending on your circumstances.
