Nobody is entitled to live in the city they work in.

Rights are an arbitrary idea. Simply emphasizing that something is or isn't a right is tantamount to writing a fictional book. Even something as literally life altering as whether your own government (assuming you live in a democracy) can rightfully kill you or not is arbitrarily decided [0].

Look. I work in the SOMA neighborhood of SF. That doesn't give me the right to live there (and I don't - it's too expensive, so I live in the south bay).

And as we saw with the recent refugee crisis no one is entitles to live at all. But if we strive to build a good society for whatever reason, one of the optimum solutions is to mix people of different backgrounds and paths of life together to enhance the social mobility.

I didn't say people are not entitled to live.

Depends on your philosophy, ideology, religion, and politics.

Why not? Is a living wage really a luxury?

[argonaut]

That's a false equivalence. I never said nobody is entitled to a living wage. If SF is too expensive, live in Oakland or Milbrae or Daly City.
