>The thing about the cost of living being so much lower in the colonies is that it invites the most nefarious riff raff, who flee from London like rats after getting gentrified/priced out from previous standards of living. You see this with Jamestown and New Amsterdam the most. The kind of "clientele" coming is like what happened after the French and Indian War, only this time it's from every borough and even the lower rings of foreign countries, and its a constant wave of migration. Sure, its cheap as shit to raise a family and buy a house in the colonies, but what you offer is what you get when it comes to economic opportunism. Is the trade off worth the extra savings a couple decades from now?
