Incorrect. WallStreet, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, etc.


All have been there for a long time. Chicago or LA or NY isn't shutting down anytime soon.

The issue is that the Federal Government keeps taking more and more of our money ... therefore it keeps growing and growing. This makes the capital of the government grow and grow ... thus driving up property value, median salary, cost of services, etc.

The beast of government is the reason for prices ... not stability.

I respect your view, but there are many, many, many towns that are "stable" or even a part of state government.
California's capital (Sacramento) ... highest income or property values? ... nope.
NY's capital (Albany) ... highest? ... not close.
Virginia capital (Richmond) ... highest? ... nein.
etc

I could go on ... but defining "stability" as the driver or salaries or property value, etc. isn't right. It is all about disposable income. Disposable income is driven by labor demand and scarcity of skill ... not stability. Unfortunately ... understanding the government processes is scarce and in demand ... driving up all other incomes serving those people/entities.
