If that were the case, shouldn't we see drastically different outcomes for urban children versus suburban children?

- parpfish 2y agoThere are so many social/economic confounders going into the urban/suburban divide that any study showing one effect would be refuted by another that used different controls and methodology
- bongodongobob 2y agoIn my anecdotal experience, I definitely have. Grew up in a medium sized Midwest town. I don't know anyone who really made it big. Some people moved to bigger cities and whatnot, but I don't know anyone that really moved up the social ladder significantly. On the other side, every C level/director person I've worked with consulting for the bigger companies around here and elsewhere in the US are almost always from a major urban city. I can tell as soon as I meet them. They speak (I don't mean accent) and handle themselves very differently. There's a certain confidence that comes from having broader social experiences and the opportunities and networks that naturally arise from that. Do you know any multihome millionaires from nowheresville Mississippi? How about Chicago, New York, or LA? Again, my 2c, and I almost consider this obvious.
