In what way is that any more realistic than everyone being entitled to waterfront? Ideally, that would be lovely, but I just don't see a path to that.


I don't know if it would be possible to provide to everyone in society who wants it, but a path towards at least making it more available might look like:

Invest in public transportation (and potentially restrict private transportation in city centers) so that we can expand how far out someone can live and still have a reasonable commute.

Where appropriate, allow people to work from home so that commute is less of an issue.

Build more and in some cases higher density affordable housing so that more people are able to live in desirable areas.

Invest in infrastructure (both practical infrastructure such as high speed internet and "aesthetic" infrastructure such as parks and public works of art) in order to make more places desirable.
