If you live in an environment where it’s summertime year round and you can pick fruit off a tree whenever you get hungry you never develop critical thinking skills that would be useful if you had to survive through the winter for instance
Even the anthropologist know this but heaven forbid we say it out loud. They literally have documentaries explaining why humans got smarter when we moved to the colder climates. Now go look at Africa and see why it is the same for the last 100,000 years.

What someone who hasn’t completely given up on the system would say is, economic development will lead to increased tax revenue, which will lead to better government services including education and social services, which will increase the quality of the human capital over time.
Checks out.
The asterisk is education. There is a stronger correlation between tax revenue and highway infrastructure in Louisiana than there is with education.
And even if there was a strong correlation (in some areas there are).....this doesn't change overnight - but it can long term. Property values will likely increase and some will get squeezed out in the medium term.
