That seems totally plausible. N=1, but I know that Light Rail development in Seattle faced major opposition for years from different citizen’s groups which could be bc of perceived problems.

Used this as a reference for a working group discussion on family FE designs. Great paper and led to a generative discussion!

The honorable mention goes to Haowen Zheng, “Diverging Trajectories: Gendered Income Dynamics Pre- and Post-Family Migration.” 2/3
Internal migration in early adulthood, a critical life stage marked by frequent job transitions and demographic events, contributes to income disparities between married men and women. This study adopts a life course perspective to elucidate the development of this gender inequality pre- and post-migration. Using the NLSY79 data from 1979 to 2018 and an event studies model that leverages within-individual variations in both pre- and post-migration income trajectories relative to non-migrants, I observe a steadily growing migration premium for men over 15 years post-migration. By contrast, I show a prolonged migration penalty for women that peaks around five years after migration and lasts for a decade. While improved employment status accounts for about half of men’s migration income premium consistently over time, detachment from the labor market explains a smaller proportion of women’s migration income penalty mostly in the short term. Although occupational changes and fertility do not impact men's gains from migration, they account for women’s migration penalty in the long run. Ignoring pre-migration income trends underestimates income gains among male migrants and overestimates income losses among female migrants. These results emphasize the importance of temporal dynamics in family migration and gender inequality studies.
