I can afford to live in my city. I’m living in it right now! The nice thing is that I don’t get pushed out by arbitrary economic fluctuations completely out of my control.

If only we could all get free protection from economic forces we don't control.

That kind of insurance is usually pretty expensive. Why should you get it for free?

If there’s not enough supply to meet demand you have to ration by some means.

I’ve seen money, place of birth, sexual favours, lottery, length of tenure as options to ration. What do you think the best way is?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your comment suggested you'd be unable to afford market rent.
