This is in germany for context. And there is a problem of getting priced out of german cities but nobody is getting priced out of DInslaken. It's so many people freely admitting they moved to the boonies with like a 50km one way commute to save on rent and now their wager is blowing up for like what, 3rd time in the last 10 years, as gas prices rise.

Like there's sympathetic stories here, maybe you moved for your partner and/or kids and now you're the one with the commute and don't have the type of job you can easily find everywhere. Maybe you do live in the sort of region where you're getting priced out - my heart generally goes out to you - but damn do I not care about you betting on the eternal cheap car to drive into the city so you can have subsidized peace and quiet blowing up in your face. Maybe vote for better public transport or something.
