...a young single employee living in the city who also dates and socializes in the city, and has a short commute to a nice office and has a social experience...
VS
...a 20+ year veteran with 3 kids and a house in the suburbs with a 2.5hrs of commuting per day and a job that consists entirely of conference calls, emails, and presentations.
Not everyone fits in these two groups, but they are illustrative.
The first group of young employees NEED the socialization. It's an important part of generating company culture. It's also usually a low cost effort for them to commute.
The second group has usually already baked in their system of organization and discipline and can more easily maintain productivity at home.
Another dimension is how much socialization an employee needs to do their job. Someone in HR might need considerably more face time than a programmer.

The young single employee will probably not afford to live in a big city and have a short commute.
