Move to a different neighbourhood.

They want a single-family home in a major world city in a walkable neighborhood, moving is not an option.

I hear this a lot - it’s a non starter. There are only a few places that are walkable in the US, and they are all expensive.
The suburban hellscape where you can walk to a church more easily than a bar is simply not a substitute, even if housing were free of charge.

Or try to get how zoning fixed to allow for mixed-use.

How's that going to fix the problem of expensive single family homes in walkable neighborhoods?
But there are multiple reasons why money is a bigger focus:
- less long term job security. And that lower paid fulfilling job might very well be less secure too. I want to secure my financials as quickly as possible.
- insane cost of housing. A family sized 1800 sqft house with a garden now routinely sells for $3M in my neighborhood. You’re looking at $120k per year in mortgage payments and another $40k in property taxes. That’s after a $750k downpayment.
- the cost of higher education for kids.
- the general cost of living.
We could all move to the French Riviera, I guess, or vote for a better system that isn’t a hellscape for a significant segment of the population, but for an individual who’s forced to live in the current reality, money is a short term fix.
