You forgot to add "in city centers". Nobody wants free housing where it's already cheap.

I live out in the boonies. It's cheaper here, but not really when you factor in the costs of travel to get literally anything. Your money is just going into different pockets.

City centers might be a bit much but suburbs are a lot more reasonable. And I don't mean the single detached house style suburbs.

Sparse areas have other costs. Like, you can't get anywhere without a car, there's fewer jobs, less social stuff. Cities have much higher potential on most metrics that matter.

There are plenty of cheap cities, but it’s the high cost coastal cities being asked to provide free housing.

Depends on the country, "cheap" in NL is still like 150k for a one bedroom appartment in de "middle of knowwhere"
