Where I live, you have to earn at least 3 times what you spend on housing to be allowed to rent/buy. This alone forces people to live further away from work even if it costs them more in the end.

The saying works because, as you say, it suggests a successor, but the successor has to use the same title, because what people want is a new king, so that nothing changes and they can live as they did before the king was dead, not a revolution with a civil war tainted in blood.
If you do volontarily change the title, it's because you think the new one will be better, which is pretentious.
