So I looked it up, and this isn't true anymore most places.

It used to be, young people flocked to cities both for work and for things to do. It looks to me based on where this is/isn't happening now that the main factor is cost of living.

I'm confused now, are you saying that the current trend is to move out of cities or to the cities?

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

Most places, the current trend right now is moving out of cities. In my local area, people are still moving into cities for some reason.
