This is an extremely naive view of living situations and how "easy" it is to just move somewhere.
I worked for a company in NYC for years and lived 8 miles from work. It took me a minimum of 90 minutes to get to work.
You seem to think I can either just uproot my family and move to some sort of utopia city with short commutes, good public schools, and well-paying jobs; OR I can just change New York City itself.
The fact is that most people in the US have commutes of 25+ minutes. Folks who walk to work are not the norm, and city schools across the US are a complete failure and joke. Don't assume your situation applies to everyone.
