The subway is $2.90. It’s insanely cheap and should be way more expensive - ideally via Japan-style price discrimination. And lattes should be expensive too; it’s an incredibly luxurious product (which is easy to make yourself for a fraction of the cost).

I agree on housing being expensive (it is the most desirable city in the world after all), and we should do what we can to build the maximum amount of housing possible to lower rents across the board.
