I think it’s not just housing. Childcare, pediatrics (medical care for children) and social acceptance could be better.
Finding a spot for your child in a kindergarten in a big city is really challenging.
Phoning every pharmacy in town to find the prescribed drug for your child (simple things like antibiotics).
Leaving work 14:30 because you have to pickup your child from Kindergarten („can’t your wife pick him up“)
Being a parent is still great, but sometimes it feels harder than it should be.
Note: I live in Germany - might be different somewhere else.

No matter how punctual you were before, willing to stay late to get something done, or simply part of the office social life, that’s all going to be a lot different in ways which people will worry affect their perceived employability.
