Agreed to some extent, but we need to stop pretending that living in a top tier city is some fundamental human right. It's possible some folks simply don't produce enough value to sustainably live in an expensive city, and should go and move somewhere less in demand where real-estate is cheaper. Plenty of such places exist, and really, considering the potential for remote work plus the ease of ordering online, we should be seeing a resurgence of small towns....

That's the most important thing. There is not an incentive to move to smaller, cheap towns since there are not jobs there. Until remote work becomes more commonplace, people are de-facto stuck in expensive cities.
