Living in cities does not have to be super expensive, outside of the super popular cities with limited geographic area. Getting by without a car is one huge expense lifted for some city dwellers. The cost of housing is certainly the biggest barrier, but we (well, some of us) are working on constructing more housing located near transit stops and built on vacant land that is not astronomically expensive.

I guess that it will always be more expensive than living in an old house on the way outskirts near nothing else, but then... that's where you'll be, having to drive for everything.
