what is this?
given a set of locations you must commute to every week, and max-min constraints on rent and commute time, find your pareto-optimal neighborhood by minimizing either rent or commute time. every neighborhood is scored by median asking rent on (StreetEasy) against your trip-weighted door-to-door commute in minutes (fastest of transit or walking, chosen automatically per trip). set a rent cap and a commute cap, pick which one to optimize, and the best candidate lights up orange. blue = the pareto frontier. click any candidate for its exact routes based on mta traintimes. this is a static website and updates automatically.
