apartment shortage

what can be done about the shortage in new developments / apartments – especially in the city?

Should ppl start moving out or does it pay to be squashed just to stay near family?

I personally think it’s the mentality you grow up with, more than the difficulty itself of living a little bit away from where you grew up. My proof is that in Israel it’s very common to buy apartments out of area / in settlements, when parents reside in the center, like Yerushalayim or Bnei Brak. Also, Europeans (Brazil or Australia etc.) know from when they’re young that they’ll very likely have to live in the States, London or Israel.

So, wondering what others have to say on this matter.
