I'm curious as to why you truly can't do it. Obviously not everyone can, but most individual cases likely can. It's more that you choose not to, which is still perfectly valid.


Can’t live in Manhattan? Because NIMBY housing policies prevent Manhattan from growing.

I don't disagree that zoning policies need reforming, but that just makes living here more expensive, not impossible.


If there are fewer places to live than people who need to live there, then having a place for everyone is impossible. In a shortage, all housing is luxury housing.


No one's talking about everyone though, just one person who is a HN reader.


I'm not American, sadly. I'm from Ontario. You're right, it's not literally impossible but it's way more effort and time than it would be worth.
