Has anyone Covid-relocated from a largish coastal metro (SF, LA, Portland, Seattle, NY, Boston, DC) to a smaller city anywhere that’s *not* Austin or Miami? The Schelling point cities are weirdly dominant in migration patterns.

Hypothesis: “where to move to?” is not an Excel-complete problem So if you start a spreadsheet to solve it, you’ll get frustrated in a few hours and just decide to move to Austin because 2 of your friends did. The social graph is a dominant variable in mobility decisions

You may think you’re solving for weather, taxes etc., but you’re solving for “how many people will I already know when I land there?”

Why a city? I mean, for "why not own and operate a tramp freighter engaged in cabotage up and down the coast of America" I sort of know the answer, but why a city?
