But that implies we should centralize in cities, so people don't have to move if they lose their jobs. Getting a few companies to a small town just means that when one fails, workers are more likely to have to move at a later stage in life, when they already have kids and a mortgage and such. Better for them to move to a hub when they're young. Plus their children will already be born in a hub, so they won't have to move at all.
- ChuckNorris89 7y agoI agree with what you said but how many people can afford to have families in hubs like you assume?
- jefftk 7y ago(author) The main reason it's expensive is because supply restrictions have pushed housing far above the cost of construction. We could fix this by allowing more construction, which is what I'm arguing for in the post.
- ljf 7y agoI'm not arguing in either direction, just pointing out that moving can have a high cost. I've moved a lot, but I'm lucky to have been largely about to afford to pay for support when I've not yet been able to build support networks.
