The goal for me, I would like to replace my and my wife’s income (perpetually) so we can both pursue other interests/hobbies and always be there for our children.

FYI - end goals are to have 10k relatively passive income a month - in perpetuity.

Lot of people would be happier being broke than diabetic ...Make a movement around this concept and it becomes FIRE...start a successful financial show/training   around this concept and you get a Dave Ramsey show..write a successful blog around this and you get Mr Money Mustache. 

It looks like she's transitioned to business reporting on what the Chronicle calls the sharing economy and maker movement.  

Consider choose FI podcast and look into FIRE movement.

But maybe I shouldn’t have said that and instead should just live in a perpetual state of self-loathing because the world is unfair.

They can barely afford to pay their mortgages and taxes there and live in perpetual fear that they'll have to downgrade or move their kids out of the school system they're in, an unthinkable loss of social status.As their kids grow, they unthinkingly strengthen then strong and weaken the weak, culminating in too many avoidable instances of weak, brittle, fearful young people of privilege who are unable to deal with any sort of real adversity and only really do anything when faced with the possibility that inaction might significantly damage their own precious social status, documented daily on Instagram, Facebook, etc.So in my private life of old friends and family, I find myself somewhat hemmed in by incredibly hard-working people who care a great deal about social status and constantly make utterly inane excuses about why they're all so damned broke as they drive massively depreciating cars and live in houses that are dumpster fires of various expenses.

Additionally, here in Cook County, IL the "housing is a right" movement nearly eliminated the effectiveness of background checks.

Demand: This is the hard one, because people need places to live so I think you'll see some movement down the value chain.

@Todd Powell it is abundantly clear to me that the various jurisdictions that implemented the eviction moratoriums fueled the fire of the "cancel rent" movement.
