Honestly, if I was in the state legislature, I'd require all cities to be "job balanced" within 3-miles radius(s). That means there have to be enough jobs within 3 miles of home developments to sustain the population that lives there.
While it wouldn't prevent commuting, it would give families choices to they can actually live next to their jobs. It also slows sprawl in cases like Eagle Mountain where the city is 100% commuter. It would require the jobs to go in before the houses.
Then it's win-win. Everyone gets their nice slice of suburbia, without the horrible commute.
