They addressed that though, the idea is that maybe they aren't literally actually commuting from another state and that's just their legal residence. The article showed evidence they were illegally living in the police station, so if that's the case it would explain why they aren't using that explanation as a defense.

It's kind of confusing why this would be a thing to begin with though, is the Bay Area really so expensive that 600k a year isn't enough to afford rent there?
