Here's an isochrone map showing 15 minutes by public transport from NYC's Museum of Natural History, one of the locations shown in the video:

https://app.traveltime.com/search?aId=0&0-lat=40.7811007&0-l...

This web app is especially useful for finding places to live at the intersection of two commutes in dense cities. Do travel times from each office as their own shapes and look into the overlaps.

For the approach in the video, it seems likely "it can't work" thanks to the problem is noted at the very end. As he says, you'd need another dimension to correctly capture the differences in speeds between modes of transportation and connections.

This is easy to imagine: just picture an expressway loop and with the proximity of its off ramps to each other, and then the stretch necessary to displace addresses in the center of that loop. To his point, you'd have to lift that center out of the plane to get it far enough from every point on the circle surrounding it.
