2 - That’s not my point. My point is that you can find a job and even own property from its salary outside of major cities easier than inside of them.
4 - Cool, so the government should step in to funnel money to you before those who have less than you? Why should you get more before people living in places you deem unworthy of you?
I’ll just answer #4 for you: Entitlement. You think you’re entitled to more while others have less. Other people should step in for you to subvert supply and demand. Where demand is low and supply is high is not good enough for you, even though millions of people live there.
2 - source on “it’s easier to find a job outside of cities?” A quick Google suggests the top places for jobseekers are Atlantic City, Charleston NC, DFW, Nashville, Atlanta and Portland, and rural West Virginia and Kentucky as the worst. Edit: and you are the one backing the argument I should move. I don’t need to find a new job or move if the area is livable, and the only thing making it unlivable is someone else’s greed.
4 - no. and they shouldn’t. Again, nonsequiturs. Also I disconcur on your “answer for me” as you freely admit you are strawmanning me with stuff I didn’t say.
4 - re properties: rent control. prevent companies from owning residential property. tax empty properties. regulate cost assessments. more programs for first time buyers.
re: cost of living: programs to eliminate food deserts, invest in public transport, fines for monopoly/price fixing on groceries, regulate gas prices
other ideas: fund childcare, universal Healthcare, more education/school funding.
edit: not to mention tracking wages to inflation including minimum wage, UBI, better implementation of disability services, fund carers for disabilities, tax cuts for community programs, end right to work, strengthen unions, prevent banks from sub prime lending on property and vehicles.
2 - I challenge you to find 2 fine arts dept curriculum head or better vacancy posts at universities not based in major cities
4 - good idea. I pick the first one.
edit: re the other two honesty doesn’t enter into it. your questions were non sequiturs.

2- My point is that you can “even own property from its salary.” This is much easier outside of major cities than inside of them.
4- What do you think should change then to make living in major cities more affordable?

All that sounds good, but how does it solve the issue of scarcity in major cities? Where there is not enough supply to meet demand?
It seems to me that it would just become a first-come, first-serve basis.
the shortage is of affordable housing, not housing.
there are plenty of houses, they just aren’t affordable, so all of my points re: housing would help.
They aren’t affordable because of supply and demand.
There’s low supply and high demand which causes prices to increase.
Someone can afford them, just not you or anyone you know.
