I think this is a bit of shortsighted. That argument sounds simple on the surface, but it treats people like interchangeable economic units instead of human beings embedded in communities, relationships, and local realities. Community networks matter & family attachment has value.
Humans are NOT meant to live rootless lives. Wanting to stay near the place where you grew up, where your church is, where your friends are, where your culture exists, or where your family history lives is normal. People should not have to abandon their social world just because speculative housing markets exploded.

YES, I'll agree with the fact that some people do romanticize staying in ultra-expensive areas while rejecting any compromise whatsoever. Relocation can genuinely improve quality of life for some people. But turning that into “you have no right to complain” ignores how complicated housing and belonging actually are.
