I hope it doesn't lead to (enable) commutes even more ridiculously long than they are now. But it would. Like with traffic congestion, people have decided they will tolerate or even embrace a certain level of inconvenience and any action that relieves the inconvenience gets countered by adding more irritant.

P.S. Scenario: Oh look Honey, a beautiful million dollar mountain home. And over there, a high-salary urban job, only six hours commute away. No problem; get the expensive house with the huge salary and the transportation/sleep/eat/poop/infotainment capsule will effortlessly and without any cost shuttle you there and back overnight five days per week.
