When talking about affordability there is always someone who uses this argument, like everyone can freely move around. I work for a company that forces me to go to the office in a hub city, and I'm in a work visa that doesn't allow me to change employers, so my options are limited. In any event saying "uproot your entire life and move someone cheaper" is a mean non-answer. Is it so unreasonable to ask for affordable housing for most in the biggest population centers?
