In many places it is literally illegal to build anything but the most expensive type of housing, due to single family zoning.

  What is making you live there?

    Those goalposts gave me whiplash.

      The person I replied to said housing was being 'denied' to millions. Living somewhere with expensive housing, whatever the reason, is not being 'denied' a place to live. There is an enormous amount of entitlement that goes in to thinking not being able to live somewhere already extremely desirable is being 'denied' a place to live.

    How about a job? Even if it takes over an hour for your commute. How about close proximity to family and relatives? Sure, you can move to middle-of-nowhere Texas, and buy land for cheap, but how are you going to pay for that cheaper mortgage, if there are no jobs around? Maybe you can get a telecommuting job?

      The question here is what constitutes someone being 'denied' housing. Is needing to live with roommates being 'denied' housing?
