1 - thanks for being honest

2 - Can't you get a job outside of a major city?

3 - thanks for being honest

4 - I think my example is very relevant. Either we put measures in place to limit the cost of property, or we spread out and reduce demand.

Our governments are built on making rich people richer as quickly as possible. There's no way we are going to implement safeguards to prevent that unless there is a massive cultural shift.

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 - 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.
