Just yesterday I was commenting here on this very situation, but she has already moved her home out of the city in search of less expensive rent. She really should find a job out of the city as well. If the highly paid workers in the city want to buy coffee or sandwiches or whatever, they can pay prices that reflect the true cost of living in the city and not some indirect subsidized price.

- icebraining 9y agoShe really should find a job out of the city as well. If the highly paid workers in the city want to buy coffee or sandwiches or whatever ...she's a public health adviser for the United States Department of Health and Human Services. I'm pretty sure she's not selling sandwiches.

- wang_li 9y agoShe presumably provides a service to those in the area where she works. Whether she makes sandwiches or gives life advice, the price paid by the consumers of her service should be somewhat correlated with the cost of living in the area.
- fencepost 9y agoTL;DR on my own comment: she's in her early 60s with all that entails for jobs and job hunting. She's making the best of being basically trapped.
