How would that explain why probably upwards of 95% of people moving to the west coast (and trendy cities in general) have no family there, and likely no meaningful friend group or social networks there either?
The vast majority of people I talk to piling out west have no connections here whatsoever.
- drivingmenuts 8y agoHow many of them had strong connections and opportunities back home? How old are they? I could move to rural Texas and live like ... well, better, maybe ... but there's no opportunity there, I'd make about a quarter of what I do now, if I could even find a job I wasn't overqualified for and not know anyone. If I moved to the West Coast, I could up my pay, maybe, but that's about it. I'd still not know anyone. All that stuff plays a part the older you get.
