I'd tend to disagree on the point around housing. I'd be surprised if there isnt a non-insignificant # of households who would happily move to lower cost of living areas (rent/house price wise) or areas with more nature perhaps but that is simply not feasible because there is no work there or the fields they work in are tethered to a particular city or cities in general. That severely limits their concept of choice in the matter.
