There aren't enough dwellings near the jobs. That's the whole problem.

- nemo44x 4y agoIn many places there are. But they aren’t in the best places or where someone thinks they deserve to live. I’m not saying we don’t need to build more, but people need to come to grips with what they can afford and what that means for their location.

- rightbyte 4y agoI kinda not jokingly would suggest that there are available jobs because there is not enough housing. I.e. there is a big worker churn due to untenable living costs. It is easier to get jobs since a lot of people give up and move. Dunno how strong this effect is though ...
