Then people should...

waste less money on ordering food/eating out. Plan groceries and meal prep to avoid waste.

not take out car loans on vehicles they cannot afford. Consider going without a car if in an area with public transit, or going with only 1 car between you and a partner.

get roommates to reduce how much they pay on rent

If there aren't enough good areas to live with job opportunities within your immediate radius, do something about it and expand your search.

Unless someone is the primary caretaker for someone and needs to live in an exact area (e.g. taking care of a parent nearing end of life), if they haven't tried or considered the above, it's hard to sympathize

If that's what they're spending it on. But we don't know. Just because a lot of people eat out doesn't mean everyone does. And depending on the area, public transport isn't always a reliable option. There are places that don't have any. And in the places they do, some only work at specific times. Like where I am, it's only a 12 hours operation for buses. Vans run for longer. But depending on how far you have to go, it could end up costing more than a car and gas in the long run.

Some people have roommates or spouses. But depending on the area, it can still be costly. Expanding you search is good, but then you would definitely need a car. And depending on how far you search, you may need to move. Which can be pretty costly in itself. People have tried the above. It's literally not something everybody can do. It's really that simple... It doesn't matter if you can't sympathize. But it some cases, you're telling people to also give up a good life now to have a slightly better one when they're older. If they even make it to that age...
