How about housing in the most expensive and populated ares in the US is a necessity? If there can't be housing available for all the workers in an area then there needs to be a change. Whether it be higher wages, changes in zoning, or public housing depends on the area, but doing nothing doesn't fix things. Having all the low paying workers commute 2 hours to work every day to make frappes and burgers for the rich locals is not a viable option.

Property is a limited commodity, it can't be expanded to fit demand. > then there needs to be a change No there doesn't > Having all the low paying workers commute 2 hours to work every day to make frappes and burgers for the rich locals is not a viable option. Viable is in the mind of the beholder. Viable solutions include - low income workers moving to more affordable areas, leaving the wealthy to make frappes and burgers with their Kurigs and air fryers - low income workers continuing to commute feeling it is still the best option for them considering all factors - wages raise in high-income areas to compensate baristas and chefs, allowing them to move closer to city centers. All of these are 'viable' and none of them make housing a right or necessity.
