You pretend as if people are just moving for some "cool" factor and not because the location offers things other places do not, such as real cultural and lifestyle differences, and most importantly, job opportunities for certain professions the likes of which are simply not found in such quantities (or potentially quality) in other places.

You pay a premium for reduction in economic risk and a desirable lifestyle. The fact that younger generations overall have a lower standard of living due to baby boomers and fiscal policy decisions doesn't mean they are irresponsible.
