I am a recent transplant to Southern California. In my experience, educated peers are moving to or searching for cities that provide good value based on their fiscal position. Some of them are moving to NYC or LA metros. Others are looking at Raleigh or Denver and a few Austin. What sticks out to me is how many people are relocating en masse at almost the same time.
- kasey_junk 5y agoAre you a recent transplant due to a life event like college graduation or the like? If so the correlative nature of your peers is likely not that actually interesting from a broad social perspective.
- fumar 5y agoWhy would you assume that? Without providing too much personal detail. I am 10 years+ of out undergrad, work for a large tech company, own property, and originally from the midwest. I consider my peer group diverse as I am a minority who grew up in a low income area but found success in college and consequently in my career.
- kasey_junk 5y agoI just mean that there are certain events that happen in clusters around your peer group (graduation, marriage, kids, divorce, retirement, etc) that will appear as a pattern to you (and me) that are not actually clustered in the broader population that may drive the trends you see.
