This is a good thing. Staying put retains, strengthens and builds family and social ties. The social unrest and angst of the last fifty years has destroyed the fabric and nature of our nation. Using the litmus test of how does less mobility affect the economy? is the same as asking how does stopping global warming do so?; both results are bigger than the economy and will, in the long run, benefit it.
