Even that probably has a root cause. Capitalism, efficiencies gained from concentrating resources in a single location, network effects etc? In the UK, jobs used to be at local factories and offices. It was rare for people to move for university then move to another city for work. My Grandad worked at a local electronics factory. My Dad worked at a local auto parts refurbishment factory. My mother in her early 20s worked as a secretary for the emergency services. Moving away for university and then again to another city for work was almost unheard of. You worked and lived close to your family. Of course the 80s came along and everything changed.
