At what point can we acknowledge the harsh reality of “adapt, move, or perish”? If your choices and circumstances can’t add up to a positive cash flow, there is no obligation for others to sacrifice their net productive choices so others can enjoy their net unproductive choices. We don’t live in a post scarcity Utopia; why do some strive so hard to cancel this truth?

We need people to live where the jobs are. Yes you can also move jobs but that’s basically the why. Also you have a higher probability of advancing from poverty to middle class or even high income living in the Bay Area.

to equalize the outcomes based on group identities, based on the concept that identity is all that matters and choices, hard work and circumstances don't
