You might not think the economic value was so low if you had children in school, were going to have children, were a child yourself, had significant health expenses, had a criminal record, were poor, or are going to get old eventually.
I was basing it on what this seemed to be aimed at—single males in working age with nothing keeping them anywhere else. For younger people, you’re right, it’s great—my education has so far not cost me a thing, including uni, they’re supposed to build more student corridors, and it’s a really calm city. Sweden has free healthcare, and great welfare in general.
Update: Wonderful for people up to 25, fairly meh for working age, but there’s a larger city within commute range (20 minutes by train), so it’s definitely not too bad. But I’ve yet to hear of anyone with any considerable wealth being from here.

Economic value pays for the cultural value.
