"Everyone should develop an online income" is like the galaxy brain version of teaching truck drivers how to code. The n-gate blurb writes itself.

  That's not remotely what I said. My main point is I wish folks with a lot of income and other privileges would stop saying things like "There's plenty of affordable housing! All you have to do is move to Detroit!" If you want to take the position that people can just move someplace cheaper, the way to do that without being a jerk is to help facilitate that in some way instead of turning a blind eye to the reality that expensive places have jobs, cheap places tend to lack them and the housing crisis is very much real. It isn't a made up complaint.

    Great point. Use taxes to make it expensive for companies to offer jobs where housing is expensive, and perform proper urban planning where land and housing is cheap to fix our previous mistakes (car centric, low density, non-mixed use).
