How can you sustain a city if the existing inhabitants children would rather leave?

That seems like a problem for the inhabitants to work out through a democratic process.

I think you’re tilting at windmills here.

The industries sustaining the city are healthcare, finance and higher edu. There’s no invasion of m fedora-toting tech bros building B2B SaaS AI Agents.
