Specifically in reference to "lure skilled workers and business to move to our fantastic Northern cities." Why isn't housing cost an issue?

Yeah, I live here, and I take issue with the "to great success" idea. I don't know who's koolaid you're drinking, but America is *hurting*

And to be sure, the US policy isn't to strangle NYC or Silicon Valley, but (as w USSR) to lure businesses into dying cities.
