Popular because people are clumping in areas that have jobs...

  Also because they like those areas? Many people dream of moving to New York. And they would dream that with out without the jobs.

    It may more or less boil down to lots of movies and television shows being set in New York.

      >It may more or less boil down to lots of movies and television shows being set in New York Movies and TV shows are filmed in NY because it's a world class, iconic city. It didn't become that because of media.

    I'm sure there are many who live in New York who want to move out but can't because of the work. Certainly that's the case in London. Desires change through life. Sure when I was 20-something I'd be happy living in manhattan, but in my 30s I want somewhere in the country with a nice small school for the kids. When I'm in my 50s I suspect a house by the beach would be good, maybe even abroad. When it comes to my 70s and I've got grandkids I'll want to be near them. How many people want to live in Ny to live the "friends" lifestyle, find out reality doesn't meet expectation, then want to leave but can't due to work?
