This just in: some very well compensated workers discover that affordability isn’t the biggest motivator in their lives.
Maybe I’m too much of a cynic but when everyone was hyping up moving to Texas (or Miami before that) the only pitched seemed to be affordability. But more or less everywhere is more affordable, the question is why move to [destination state/city] specifically. And I never saw a hugely compelling reason.
Off topic perhaps but personally I’m much more interested to know the future for things like the arts in the face of inaffordability. Like, if aspiring actors can’t afford to stay in LA long term waiting tables and going on auditions what might that mean for the film industry? Could we see other cities get some of that cultural cache?
