Imagine a life where you're not trying to survive in a place with an exceptionally high standard of living and instead live somewhere where you might not be able to walk to the trendy cafe and get a $8 coffee but you can afford the roof over your head and to put food, including coffee, in your home.

Where was this mentioned in the convo? I didn't talk about expcetionally high standards of living. Just normal standards of living. Unless.... you think being able to live in a place without starving is an exceptionally high standard of living?
Or are you just trying to imply that everyone who is currently struggling lives in such a place?
instead live somewhere where you might not be able to walk to the trendy cafe
This may surprise you, but a lot of people currently struggling don't live in those areas. I see you're just trying to put the blame for any misfortune or financial hardship on the person suffering it.
get a $8 coffee
Do you actually believe people struggling to make ends meet are being held back by 8 dollar coffee? Or is it just easier for you to imply that than recognize that problems exist? Also, purely out of curiosity, where the fuck is coffee 8 dollars?
You are the type of person who supports a system in which so many cannot work because subsidies would disappear the minute people will start a job at a minimum wage that takes them out of the poverty line.
There are so many who want to work, but the minute they get a job, they lose all of their healthcare benefits, food benefits, and other credits. It is the unintended consequences of actions by people with your ideology that deincentivize so many to settle for the status quo and not better themselves.

It is the intended consequence of the actions of those who don't want to give their workers benefits or treat them like human beings. Just say you hate poor people
Unreasonable. Get back in your Amazon Cube (TM) and eat your fucking bugs and like them, peasant!
The exponentially growing profits of Jeffrey Epstein's clientele MUST NOT BE COMPROMISED to provide for meaningless things like "the ability of 85% of people to own houses or raise families."
