That this doesn’t happen on next Tuesday is, depending on your point of view, a market failure, a demonstration of how much friction matters, or an answer to “What wouldn’t I give to triple my salary?” / “What wouldn’t I give to live in an urbanist close-to-eutopia?”

Is this true for individuals assuming the rest didn't (relative advantage), or for the whole cohort of Tokyo + SF programmers swapping places?

I think substantially every individual I know who has made this trade *in either direction* either re-ups for it every year or regrets the circumstances that resulted in them being unable to continue it, though my social circles might bias my POV here.
