Your move (and what it says about you) Thinking Is Cool

There’s no such thing as a city with livability, hype, affordable apartments, proximity to talent and money, and good food and people watching. But that’s never stopped us from attempting to find it.
The last year especially, we’ve been on the hunt for a new hub city here in the US as the post-Covid world opens up. In that search, long-held systems (both economic and social) have been uprooted—people who swore they’d never leave the Bay Area flocked to Miami like it was nothing. New Yorkers whose entire personality was being a New Yorker jumped on the first flight to Austin.
Moving patterns have been undoubtedly accelerated in the last 12 or so months. I don’t need to tell you that (Twitter probably already has). But what do those moves mean for economies, local and national, and the ways they’re built? Today, we’re finding out by examining four of this country’s potential hubs: Austin, Miami, New York City, and San Francisco.
Pack your bags. We’re gonna have some fun.
