Ironically, could be interpreted as the reason they're leaving cities as well.

I wish we could downvote articles behind a paywall, like we can downvote posts.

  I disagree about the down votes, but I wouldn't mind seeing a [paywall] tag next to the title. Having said that, i'm using Chrome Incognito with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger extensions, i'm not getting any paywall on this article... EDIT: Looks like there's a 10 article limit before the paywall kicks in, that's why only some users are seeing it - they've run out the limit.

  Yeah, I feel it's a grass roots effort here to drive people to paywall news sources we otherwise wouldn't consider. On any given day, there's one to two links to WSJ and NYT on the front page, even on stories that aren't exclusives. The cool kids don't mind paying for journalism and all that, and the press deserves our support (etc, etc). Most of the content I enjoy here is written for free by hobbyists or company blogs.

Doesn't really present anything terribly surprising. Bigger cities have crazier cost of living and wages for the degree-less are, no surprise, not keeping up. I don't think anyone here will be shocked to find out working at mcdonalds or as a janitor in SF or NYC isn't as viable as a smaller city.

  The theory is that these jobs would pay higher to attract workers and be able to do so by having enough customer volume.

    I ran restaurants for a time and it seems that city locations get most of the surplus gained by volume eaten away by higher rents, greater regulation (more expensive to build out) and taxes. Lower volume suburban locations had better per unit profit at the end of the day than high volume locations where I worked (provided the low volume location hit a certain threshold).
