There are also ways to spread the wealth from the Boston/SF markets into other parts of the country, and we can talk about that, too, but one big problem is it often involves things other parts of the country are resistant to, like investing in infrastructure and education to a greater degree and changing your state spending and taxing pattern to one that looks more like California and Massachusetts.

In days gone by, people would move from other places to places like California and Massachusetts, but the crazy zoning policies in coastal metropolises makes that more and more expensive. I blame Atticus, for never coming around any more.
