This is correlation, not causation. Remember that we're currently in the middle of a pandemic, with record unemployment, which is guaranteed to affect urban areas more directly than rural areas. There are entirely too many conflating factors.

This article goes beyond jumping to conclusions, to the point of being disingenuous, and I still maintain that it's not appropriate for the sub.

I think that's the point of the article, my friend. These factors are driving people out of the cities. Both the article OP linked and the WSJ article mention the pandemic.

I agree that the pandemic may be the most important consideration. But you can't deny that the riots are a factor. A billion-dollar investment firm recently cited them in its move from Seattle to Phoenix. A factory in Minneapolis cited them when choosing to relocate rather than rebuild after being burnt down. I can't imagine those are the only businesses deciding to move.

If you can't see that, I have no way to make you see it. You either have the eyes for it or you don't.
