Lol I don't know what weird reality you live in but it ain't this one. The homes close enough to my job are literally 5x the price of the one I live now.
Another artifact produced by the stupid system we live in that you use as an argument for proliferation of the system.
Fixing climate change would require us rethinking how we live in general, the housing and transportation is just a tiny aspect of that.
I know it’s basically unimaginable right now, but the industrial revolution happened less than 300 years ago and the society then was also unimaginable to us today. We need to backtrack a lot of choices we made since then because it turns out the world does not really have infinite resources. And yes, we can also do nothing at all or fund carbon capture projects or other bullshit until the earth will no longer sustain us. We’ll end up in a different civilization either way, but one will be a bit more drastic.
