In this case you either live in the middle of an industrial hub or you can’t change jobs, so I’m not sure what it actually solves. Hiring by catchment area doe

  You do realize the vast majority of jobs are not in industrial hubs but urban cities right? Urban cities tend to have more than one employer too. Before I moved across the country, there were maybe a dozen or so companies that were hiring devs where I lived; now after moving there are around 800 companies that hire devs. In this new, for me, city, Boston, it's quite hard to build housing for reasons that seem to only favor those in existing houses.

    > not in industrial hubs but urban cities An urban city can be or have an industrial hub. By industrial I don't necessarily mean manufacture. > Urban cities tend to have more than one employer too They can also have those employers at a couple hours commute (not walking) from each other. That helps my point, not hinders it. > there were maybe a dozen or so companies that were hiring devs where I lived Assuming those were all within 15 minutes walking distance, then it would qualify as the kind of industrial hub I mentioned - although a dozen or so may not be good enough for an employee to shop around and get good deals. > now after moving there are around 800 companies that hire devs Again, within 15 min walk of each other? I find that hard to believe, but assuming so, that is an industrial hub.
