There&#x27;s no particularly good reason for police officers to live in Manhattan. Since we have good public transportation you can live in any of the boros and work in Manhattan (not to mention LI, Westchester, Hoboken, Jersey City, etc.)<p>Since the Bay Area has both crappy public transportation and not enough density it is doubly screwed. But incumbent homeowner NIMBYites and rent are happy, so great I guess?
