[quote=Anonymous]The problem is knowledge economies react differently than manufacturing/mining companies. Silicon Valley lost nearly 1MM jobs between 2001-2010, yet managed to rebound fairly well. Even San Fran is having another moment with all the AI happening. This is different from areas like Detroit or West Virginia where you had most of the jobs relying on manufacturing or mining where most of the workers were just HS grads. I think the article is a bit misleading that people will move to Nashville because of a lower COL. The parts of Nashville where anyone wants to live aren't any cheaper than DC (maybe more expensive?). Perhaps Cincinnati...but only if you are originally from there. The article also fails to talk about how places like say Kansas City are massively reliant on Federal jobs as well and likely to feel a ton of pain. You also have Trump claiming to want to turn DC into the best city in the world...hard to reconcile that with mass layoffs.[/quote]
