But that was before tech became so common.
You don't need to live in the city to earn more and innovate.

Your argument seems to be, "That might be better, but it would mean change, and that's bad!"

Better for individuals in the short term but worse for society as a whole.

Cities have always been the most expensive option... they are meat grinders for careers. There's plenty of jobs but it is very diffcult to get ahead. Always has been that way.
I'd rather be a big fish in a small pond.
This is a terrible public policy if it's the plan. And while I think selfishly it might be better for individuals if they did, I don't think it's actually helping anyone. Cities used to be a place where you made a life for yourself and could earn more and innovate more than you could in rural/suburban areas. Now it's a luxury to live in one and that doesn't bode well for the future of the country.
