You’re probably right, and I admit I’m not planning to devote very much of my life to solving this problem either :/
But from the point of view of costs and benefits, it (probably) isn’t that costly to make a few policymakers aware (of the enormous economic waste due to high rent). And even if the new city idea is stupid, it’s plausible policymakers will change their behaviour sufficiently that rent prices actually will go down by a bit.
