> No one gives a shit what Joe from Cincinnati thinks or will think in some hypothetical future.

This mindset is the problem. If the plan after 30 is to move and live next to Joe from Cincinnati, then like the parent comment says: this flippant attitude will not garner any positive value.

No, the parent comment says that living in NYC won't be important to the people in Cincinnati, and it provides little value as a bullet point in the resume of your life because of that reasoning.

That's not the point of living in a city like NYC for many of the residents here. No one here I know is planning on leveraging "10 years in NYC" to impress their neighbors in Cincinnati.
