There’s a lot of criticism of the article in this thread. I’m surprised — I know several couples who have had trouble finding a place they call ”home” and deciding when and how to move towards starting a family, and the article is correct that certain aspects of modern work culture are relevant. I’m talking about university educated middle classes. The article is not very convincing in its clams to be addressing problems of anybody who’s not university educated middle class.
- Nasrudith 8y agoFrom what I have heard about economically depressed areas that may also be because moving in itself is a small luxury. There is a need for a lack of obligations like caring for ailing family and either enough capital for a move which won't cause you to wind up homeless or ability to work a job where local labor is scarce or decommoditized enough to justify covering moving expenses in importing workers and evaluating nonlocal candidates. This isn't just skill - it also can include things like willingness to work in uprootive work like the military, long haul trucking, or offshore oil rigs.
