There's this concept of voice vs exit. When things aren't going well in an organization or politically, you either decide to speak up and say there is something wrong or leave to find something else. One of the points in the article is that speaking up has been and currently feels like something you can't really do for fear of being ostracized by the greater community. Try mentioning you think there should be something done about the homeless problem, and the response always seems to be that we shouldn't criminalize homelessness, it's not their fault, more housing would fix everything. At a certain point you realize that if you can't speak up, or those in power/those that elect the people in power aren't going to listen, then you might as well seek a place that is a better fit. The crazy thing that happened recently is that before you had to make the decision to leave your job and hope to find an equivalent job in a new place. Which as challenging and probably led more people to try to speak up vs exit. But with remote work it is so much easier to leave, and there are even benefits to the cost of living calculation coming from the Bay Area, that exit becomes not only much easier, but also beneficial in terms of buying power for your dollars.
