"The Unseen Threat to America..." is an magazine article that is a pile of claims and assertions that omits the appropriate background suitable for a thinking person to judge the claims.

The editing removed the author's disclosure of purpose, removed the methodology, removed the inquiry explanation, and removed the sources of data.

Also I found that the entire Time Magazine website is deliberately organized to prevent any reader from posting any comment.

In it's edited form, this article is the creation of yet another kind of insecurity, confusion and fear.

Regarding the basic thesis that "We Don't leave our hometowns." The author doesn't pay the slightest attention to demographics (we already moved 30 years ago) nor the outrageous rents and home prices of Northern California.

Here is the big puzzle. Why are the Editors of Time Magazine publishing such an article? I suspect that Time shares a view of it's readers that People Magazine has: It is a publication for sitting on the toilet and having a brief transient "wish I was one of the beautiful people" moment.
