When couples disagree about how to respond to rising housing costs

My partner and I are dealing with our rent going up 40% and we're trying to decide whether to move somewhere cheaper or fight to stay in the neighborhood where we've built our life, but we keep having the same circular argument about what we can 'afford' to sacrifice. We both work full-time but inflation has made our budget meaningless and we can't agree on what trade-offs to make.
