People live where they have jobs. Jobs usually exist where there are people - new jobs can be created if some company or industry’s growth demands it.
Amazon warehouses and Walmarts exist where there are enough people to justify it. Coffee shops, fast food restaurants, financial services, etc all provide jobs and are located in cities, not rural areas. Water service, electricity, natural gas service do not exist by default.
People can’t just choose to change where they want to live.
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoPeople absolutely can choose to change where they want to live, by educating themselves on what’s available in places they previously thought were uninhabitable to them. Much work can be done remotely, and much other work is done in many different places than it used to be done in, not to mention the possibility of commuting to/from a job in an expanded range as a result of housing scarcity. Moving is very much a growing option for people, and the data for cross state moves shows that to be the case [0].
