The majority of the US population lives in places where thats not the case.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoRight, right. But where you live is a choice.
- wegfawefgawefg 3y agoNot if there are visa requirements, no non remote job opportunities, or you have all your family in the current city you live, and they are potentially ageing, and your kids are in local school, or you dont want to quit current job, or you are so broke you cant get an initial land / dwelling funds in the target location. Any of those and youve captured most of the working population of the US.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoThat's again, largely choice. Sure, some folks have a hard time choosing where to live, I get it. If we're honest, most folks just live by default wherever. They don't want to change. And you vastly overestimate the cost of living outside major cities. It's a tiny fraction of what you might imagine. I think I agree, if we recast it as 'inertia', it captures most of the working population of the US.
