I'm sure both would be fine but a lot of people want to live in a place like NYC. They just need to build more housing to accommodate it.

For instance, I'm a single man. I could get numerous remote jobs. This wouldn't help my chances of dating a young professional woman though if I moved out to BFE. Thus, why I'm in NYC. They just need to make more housing. A ton of the projects here in the city are completely frozen.
