RaoulDook@lemmy.world 5 months agoYeah who gives a fuck about “migration to the cities” like the cities need more crowding?
Personally I would never want to pay the absurd cost of housing in a large city, and I don’t care what jobs are there.

In my experience, literally every fucking major city in Europe, and probably around the world. Back when I used to work in VC, we’d help companies seek grants from cities that would give startups money just to have their HQ in their city. At a certain size, they were paying out or giving benefits just to have an office there.
It’s not rocket science. Bring smart people into a city, crime goes down, people settle and start families, schools do well, they get/make good jobs and feed the local economy, etc. Just because you personally don’t want to live in a big city doesn’t mean that others don’t…
