I think it is simply automatic crossposting of Zvi’s feed, is it not? One of the post submitted because many posts on that source are of LW interest, not necessarily with any particular post claimed to be super-relevant.
In this case, you could certainly extract a LW-relevant lesson: “small towns are pretty nice & cheap places to live if you are unambitious and don’t want to meet people, but are intellectually costly”. This is important to note about the tradeoffs, and this was precisely what was at issue with MIRI’s recent evaluation of whether to move out of the Bay Area to places a lot like Warwick, NY, and their choice not to: as crummy and getting worse as the Bay Area may be, it is still ultra-dense with the people that MIRI needs both professionally and as amenities for its people personally.
I didn’t realize that was happening. Now that you say it I looked back and couldn’t figure it out how I was supposed to know that for awhile until I realized that the de-emphasized text below the title can be hovered to find that out.
I think your second paragraph makes a good argument for it’s LW-appropriateness.
