And critically, housing prices.

New employees, at the bottom of the pay scale, are competing with employees making far more (with vesting) for homes.

Democratizing this across a larger number of cities (and towns!) seems healthy.

I like that workers themselves need to “rebel” against the powers that be to solve this as we are completely incapable of improving the housing crisis otherwise. Nimbys, geriatric government ineptitude, and corporate investment is actively working against new home owners. It’s complete generational theft that seeks to turn everyone into a renter for life.
