And yet, Microsoft and Amazon are still there. Isn’t that what matters? I see people moving to other states as a form of load balancing.

- WalterBright 2y agoPeople living and spending their money in the same place is irrelevant to the local economy? The taxes they pay into the local economy have produced obvious civic booms in places like Redmond and Bellevue. BTW, the Ferrari dealer moved to be close by the Microsoft campus.
- skybrian 2y agoI think it’s relevant, but also, there are a lot of people coming and going. If housing prices are high and traffic is bad, pointing at some rich people leaving seems sort like saying “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”
- WalterBright 2y agoRich people leaving isn't going to reduce the traffic significantly, but it will reduce economy significantly.
