You are saying contradictory things. "Yet living standards aren't improving an inch.", yet people are moving into the city in record numbers, and are willing to pay for it.

Why would they do that, if not to improve their living standards?

You are complaining that house prices are high, yet simultaneously saying people are moving into the city? Which is it? If the prices were high, people wouldn't move, but since they are moving, clearly there's a reason for it.

Are you trying to say you don't want people to move? You want to keep them in rural locations? But wouldn't the only way to do that, would be to make sure they don't have enough income to live in the city?
