We have to pick our priorities here. If you want to live in a big, desirable city, you have to make the sacrifices that come with high-density living. If you prefer to live in wide open spaces, then move to a place that's conducive to that life style.

Like 95+% of the suburbs in the USA are at little to no risk of urbanization in our lifetime.

Many people did exactly that, back when the Bay was half orchards and no one knew tech was going to explode.

Yeah, let me get out my violin for the people who made millions on appreciation alone. Sell your house and move somewhere rural if that's what you want.

You realize Manhattan used to be mostly farmland too, right?
