The “How much should people work?” meme is enduring because it’s a mirror that triggers rationalization for the reader’s own choices. Opt out of the frame! Choose the life you want and then optimize for that. No more arguments necessary.

idk, I saw it as just an opinion about commute being a non-negligible amount higher than Marchetti's constant, which just sucks for no economic reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchetti%27s_constant

absolutely, it's a property bubble: cheap CoL is that far away from source of income. Tokyo's figured a lot of things, like capsule hotels, because the market there has considerably less of a problem with claustrophobia. idk where she was though, but there's definitely an extensive problem with the housing & transit.
