The point is that decisions you made in your 20's will unfortunately lock you out of potential options 30 years later (without making major sacrifices). So they're saying the best move for someone in their 20's is the move that gives the most number of options for the rest of their life.

There's two sides to that coin. If you pop out some kids in NYC and spend the first 10yr of their lives raising them among the rat race you can't go back and re-raise them when you do finally decide to cash out and move to some suburb of Buffalo. Those years spent riding the subway are years not spent building your personal and professional network wherever you do wind up settling down.
