I am glad you have a new house that suits you. ^_^
I don't think you need to feel guilty about it, though: you didn't set up the unfairness. The unfairness is sad and angry but not your fault.
If you wanted to, you could help out at the next election for whichever political party is most supportive of good quality affordable public housing?
In addition to regular public housing (which is state government funded and owned), there's also a new thing now where, as a condition of development approval, the private developers has to include a certain amount of housing that is reserved for low income people.

Every time I go to my GP, who is surrounded by hills covered with trees and horses and streams, I think "this is beautiful, it would be lovely to live here."
And then I remember that that area has *no public transport*, let alone wheelchair accessible public transport, and I am happy that I live somewhere there are wheelchair accessible trains every 15 minutes on weekdays.
