> generally it is easier to move somewhere new than to feel entitled to change a municpal culture simply because you got older. This notion sounds right, but observationally it is incorrect in practice. In Chicago the neighborhoods cycle between bustling, vibrant - when filled with new, young singles who move in and bring business with them; and eventually evolving over a decade or so into a bougie DINK family-oriented community, before completing the lifecycle as a sleepy, economically depressed place with miserably stable/flat real estate values that you just pass over. Seen this exact cycle happen with a dozen different neighborhoods in Chicago. If people were instead moving to a different area, this wouldn't happen. Well, some are moving to different areas (the suburbs, etc) but not entirely.
