This is fine. I was in an expensive city too. But I need to take responsibility for my life. I'm not going to stubbornly stay in an expensive city and at the same time complain how I'll never be able to buy a house or afford kids. Its like complaining how dark it is my house, but refusing to open the blinds or turn on the lights. It's silly. This country has affordable homes in gorgeous locations all over. Now that people can work remotely it's even more attainable now!

I agree with this for sure, and I certainly don’t complain as I’ve been lucky enough as is. But some people easily get trapped and don’t see a way out, especially working class.
Not everyone has the skill set to work from home and they may not have the time to learn one either, unless we’re talking about something like answering a support phone or emails.
I’ve been working in the buildings industry half my life but luckily I’m also eternally online 😭
