"All living spaces near office buildings are getting more and more unaffordable"
FTFY
Pretty much. Gentrification in action. They're pricing out workers who work these jobs and then the rich people who move in pitch a fit about how there's long waits and "no service" and how "no one wants to work anymore." You all did this to yourselves. You chased away the workers. If you have a problem with the environment you created, perhaps you should stop doing that or go work these "great" jobs yourselves?
It's not "gentrification", it's a lack of supply to meet demand. "Gentrification" is a word invented by NIMBYs to shut down conversations about housing densification.
Gentrification: the process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process.
It literally is gentrification. And yes they are NIMBYs too. It's both. It's the same coin.
All living spaces, even for remote workers, unless you want to live out in the sticks.
And there's a dreadful lack of public transportation.
