A few easy examples:
- With basically one exception (Mayo Clinic), every top hospital in the U.S. is in or adjacent to a major city.
- The vast majority of top research universities are now in major cities (and indeed, they always would have been had it not been for the land grant acts).  This is in large part because urban universities have a dramatically easier time attracting top talent.
- Growth industries and the industries that feed into them (e.g. venture capital) are extraordinarily concentrated.  See e.g. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-venture-capital-deals/

Ask basically anyone in any of these industries, and they will tell you that not only are these things true, but they are getting more true over time.  Are there lots of ways to make a living and live a middle class lifestyle in smaller cities in the U.S.?  Sure.  But it's no secret that the top of the food chain is exceedingly concentrated, and only getting more so over time.[/quote]

I’m sorry, did you mean Cleveland Clinic  :wink: [/quote]
