If I don't pay taxes, it doesn't really apply to me does it? It's coming out of money I already pay year over year, and if the government can't see the value in having the population of it's cities distributed closely to their respective places of work, than we have a larger issue to discuss.

People already have a pretty big incentive to live close to work, in terms of shorter commutes.
The tax code needs to become less complicated, not more.
