‘crazy’ as in ‘willing to pay a ridiculous CoL premium that everyone outside of these very specific regions will look askance at you for’.
By ‘the community’ I don’t mean just EA but the larger pool of driven young university grads who EA draws from. It’s no accident that EA’s Schelling points for talent largely match those of the wider world.
As a recent worked example in shifting these Schelling points, take MIRI’s proposal to move away from the Bay Area. It didn’t work out, and they had a better chance of making this work than most.
That said, I still do I think the best opportunities for establishing new Schelling points are around insular work-areas like MIRI. I think the animal rights nexus forming in Berlin is another good example.
