There’s really nowhere on this planet I particularly want to live. Definitely nowhere that attracts me more than the price tag.

I’m personally pretty flexible and willing to slum it’s almost anywhere, but wife and cats have Lifestyle Expectations Most people with exciting opinions on location tend to be single. Partners, children, eldercare constraints, and pets add progressively tighter constraints.

You can move anywhere despite these constraints of course, but it takes progressively exponentially increasing cost, complexity, and energy, so in practice everybody rushes to Schelling points that represent a decent band 9f acceptable tradeoffs and drives up costs there

Moving to Austin is currently P though the window is closing. Moving anywhere else is NP. Moving out of the US is PSPACE. Anywhere seems P if you’re already there, which is why people love suggesting wherever they are. They forget path dependence.

I’m frankly tired of this problem of where to live and how, and wish it would just go away, but the problem isn’t yet tired of me apparently
