Why not have startups have their employees work from home? Much simpler and easier to implement solution. I don&#x27;t have the obsession of wanting to live in a city but I&#x27;m aware most people I know who don&#x27;t have that obsession either still have to because their bosses does not let them work from home. If you only have to come in once a month or less you can live in a region where housing is affordable; I could buy a livable house every 2-3 months in my region. It&#x27;s not for everyone but it would provide greater quality of life for many and would certainly allow people to own their own houses &#x2F; land without having the risk of the bank to throw them out no matter what goes wrong (you don&#x27;t need a mortgage).
