The tradeoffs aren't worth it. That's why people left Pittsburgh en masse and other cities have larger populations. Ultimately if it didn't make sense to go to big cities people would stop because of the costs - clearly the market says it's worth it.

These costs are never considered because people just want to say things like "lol move" without considering why people just don't move.
