&gt; People need to live in houses. You think all these people should just be living on the street?<p>I think it&#x27;s obvious that there are serious problems with supply and demand but to say a person&#x27;s options are &#x27;live in one of the most expensive areas in the world&#x27; or &#x27;live on the street&#x27; is more than a little ridiculous.<p>There is pretty clearly the option of not living in an expensive place. Yes it might make a commute to the same job crazy, yes it&#x27;s far from ideal, yes it&#x27;s not necessary when looking at the system as a whole, but this idea that people are entitled to stay wherever they are just doesn&#x27;t work out.<p>If someone was living in a hollywood mansion and couldn&#x27;t afford it, people would say &#x27;move somewhere cheaper&#x27;.
