Add in the considerations regarding moving every couple of years and doing it all over again.

There's no long term stability to be had, so it's no wonder that people left when given the chance in the form of increased remote opportunities and a lifestyle "reset" in the form of covid.

I think the story of NYC is people try it when they don't need stability. Some make it and get stability there, some don't and move on, and a new generation moves in.

"If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere ..."

.....

  And yes, we look the same
  Both pumping steel
  Both sweating

  But you know she got nothing to hide
  And I got something to hide here
  Called desire.
  I got something to hide here
  Called desire
  And I will get out of here

  You know that fear potion is just about to come
  In my nose is the taste of sugar
  And I got nothing to hide here
  Save desire

  And I'm going to go
  I'm going to get out of here
  I'm going to get out of here
  I'm going to get on that train
  And I'm going to go on that train
  And go to New York City

  I'm going to be somebody
  I'm getting
  Going to get on that train
  Go to New York City

  I'm going to be so big
  I'm going to be a big star
  And I will never return ...
