I would argue the opposite: it's far easier for people to move where they have a job, access to food, and a community. Starting a new city is really hard, and not many people have the excess savings to do that or the will to be so isolated for so long.
- rtkwe 3y agoI'm not talking about building a new city tabula rasa style, the suburbs weren't starting a new city merely expanding it so the jobs, food access, and to a lesser extent community were provided by the city they were moving away from initially then shops moved into the area for the newly minted customers. The increased distance didn't matter so much because of the exploding prevalence of cars shrinking distances.
