Nowhere did I say that any of that "is what the world needs"

I just explained the current reality and a solution for people who might want an answer to their current problems. There's nothing you or I can do about the prices of real estate and rent in the big cities. You can wish it was cheaper to live in the city all day but it's not going to accomplish anything, and Congress and the President are not going to fix it for you either, probably at least in the span of a few decades from now.

So if you want to be able to afford a place to live NOW the answer is what I said.

To recap:

  • "housing prices are too expensive"
  • "Just move out of the city bro!"
  • "But we have job that's physically located in a city"
  • "Just commute"
  • "That doesn't solve the problem, it just replaces it with a different problem that is in some ways worse"

then

  • "that's just reality, I'm trying to solve the problem here"
  • "you can't solve this problem"
  • "I have the solution to this problem"
  • "there is no solution to this problem and no one can solve it"

???

That's just a pile of shit that you made. Stop trying to make up bullshit that I did not say, when what I said is STILL FUCKING THERE FOR YOU TO READ.

I'm sorry but you "explaining the current reality" does not solve the issue that myself and I'd wager the vast majority of people cannot just move out of a city without extreme consequences.

You can "explain the current reality" as much as you like. "Just move out of a city bruh" is a phenomenally short sighted idea.
