If all the smart people in San Francisco who are there to be around other smart people moved to Columbus, Ohio, they could save a ton on housing costs.


But all the people moving there would drive up housing costs.


Either you are joking, or some people in SF are now even less likely to move to Columbus. :)


Fun fact: last I checked on Numbeo, Columbus Ohio is more expensive to live in than Tokyo.

Of course, the weak yen probably has something to do with that, and also the relatively smaller home sizes in Japan, but still, kinda crazy.


Japan is kind of a special case, as the country in general is depopulating.


Tokyo isn't; and that's not why living here is (relatively) cheap.
