Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
There is a formula that suggested "living X minutes closer to work is worth Y dollars more on the purchase price" because the commute time saved and the health benefits of reduced stress were far worth the added cost -- and it may be like $5k on the mortgage per 1 minute saved. And if the commute dropped to a <= 30min walking commute, the benefits skyrocketed.
You better believe a walking commute factors into planning subway stations.
