This is a big issue for me when people tell me to "move out of the coasts".

Apart from the hostility (lets assume that's waning), services for immigrant populations is non-existent in most cities. Well-stocked Asian grocery stores, temples, a good selection of restaurants etc. are common in most coastal cities, while not so common everywhere else (apart from say, Houston/Austin).

I don't doubt there is flight from these coastal cities, but just like in the 70's and 80's, this seems to be mostly "white flight" [1].

Immigrant populations have no choice but to stay in the coasts, I wish more effort was put into making the coastal cities more affordable than just assuming everyone can move out.
