^ Well, they aren't wholly wrong on that. Any place you are should work for everyone to live, work, play, etc. But this is in general a generic thing for anyone to say - just because you're growing either doesn't mean you are the best place to live. Totally independent things. People tolerate various things - NYC has high taxes, the subway stations are a million degrees in the summer, it's very expensive, apartments/condos are small and a lot of the time old and not in great condition, and there's trash bags on the streets in numerous areas - none of these things make a place great to live in. But it didn't stop NYC from growing a ton from 2010 to 2020.
What those like Crain's are failing to do is go back and think about what problems are actually affecting things like economic growth vs. things they thought were affecting them but probably aren't as big of factors as once thought.
