You make a lot more money being a barber near Google than you do being a barber in rural Arkansas. And this is the ancient pathway to mobility. People who are poorer and work in the service sector, they move to richer areas where the productivity is higher and thus the sort of money spreads around.

And if you look at American mobility and opportunity over the 20th century, about a third roughly on some calculations just comes from this people moving to richer areas. And if you look in like the last 20-ish years, 30-ish years, you see this extremely steady process of income convergence as people move towards richer areas begin to throw itself into reverse.

Because it used to make sense for the janitor and the lawyer to move to New York City. But now it only makes sense for the lawyer, too, and the janitor leaves because you can't support yourself and your family and live in a home and have a reasonable commute being a janitor working in Manhattan.

It's very hard in San Francisco. You can't look at cities as... Well, that's just where the rich people are. And that's a problem that many Democrats now have. I mean, Michael Bloomberg famously described New York City as a luxury good, and luxury goods cost luxury prices. And that's true in the sense that New York became a luxury good, but that's a problem.
