Americans broadly take the concept of mobility for granted. We assume we should be allowed to live in that house, city, or neighborhood within our own country as long as we can afford it. Just go where the vibes are. But - the level of mobility Americans enjoy is a historical aberration and as you can see below not the standard even within countries we admire. And our mobility freedom is fragile. Housing costs alone are starting to make it an impossibility for many to take advantage of self-invention and reinvention through mobility

From my travels I've learned that the US ain't so bad in terms of diversity :) (not denying any problems, but just saying it's better than most are led to believe)

It’s not so bad … yet 😈 I think we are “regressing” on these fronts. I wouldn’t be surprised if within 30yr we had similar toggles. Singapore is widely touted as a wonder to the point people are likening this website to the country as a community determined marketing point — so maybe it’s progress, not regress, who is to say

I'm assuming most left-leaning people would say we're regressing with Trump (and there's evidence all over X, so it's fair). But from my perspective, it still seems overall there's progress. idk, pretty subjective and I'm also a white male :P
