Sociality seems to have negative feedback at the edges. The height of the potential barrier is easy exceeded if you're self-sustaining and near impossible if you're not.
The only part of this I've personally experienced is similar chicken and egg problems trying to move to new country. You can't get a apartment without an employment pass, the bureaucracy can't send you letters without an address. If you have money you can bootstrap off a lawyer or accountant's credentials otherwise there isn't always a way.
