I agree with your policy takes. Until we de-commodify housing things wont get any better, and most of the middle class will never stop being NIMBYs since a majority of their wealth is tied up in their home. It's a really sad situation. As far as accepting help goes, there may be others who need it more, but there are a lot of people willing to give. A lot of young professionals right now feel alienated from their work and are looking for ways to support their community. A common theme you'll hear from these groups is "solidarity not charity", there's nothing wrong with accepting help from the community (if you feel comfortable with it of course). I really hope you're able to get back to a place of stability :)
