This is a pretty silly response. Are people entitled to live wherever they want? No. But the situation is very obviously not that black and white. We allow many things in society that people aren't entitled to, largely because we believe it will build a better society.
Am I entitled to own my investment properties? No.
Am I entitled to block neighbouring housing from being built? No.
But society allows both of these things because they ostensibly should result in a better society. Of course, they may not, and if they don't result in a better society, we should probably turn the dial back on these factors, but not get rid of them altogether.
So should anyone be entitled to live anywhere? No. But should a middle-class person be able to build a life in places where there are opportunities for job growth (and like it or not, right now, that's the big cities)? Probably, if we think that will result in a better society. So we may need to turns some policy dials to ensure this will happen.

- hahaxdxd123 4y agoWhat kind of worldview is this? We should sacrifice social and economic mobility for people's Zucchini gardens?
- desperadovisa 4y agoThe world exists beyond San Francisco, you are not entitled to one specific city.
