Freedom can be characterized as the ability or right to act, speak or think as one wants without constraint. Outside of the human realm, freedom generally does not have any political dimension. People should be able to live, study and work anywhere on the surface of the earth without any constraint.
Unfortunately, freedom may not extend to where you chose to reside or travel without complying with certain norms in immigration law or practice. Many people prefer to live in a country where they feel safe, where there are good hospitals, excellent transportation network, necessary infrastructure, employment opportunity, good schools, adequate security, functional and stable government, good weather and attractive investment opportunities.

They only attract people who will add value to their economy, to their countries; they attract wealthy and talented individuals.

Global mobility is trending; in as much as one country is better than the other, either in terms of security, economy, policies or technological advancement, people will always move.

San Francisco, Moscow, London, Beijing, Singapore, and Dubai are cities on the list.
How many of them are originally from these cities? Factors such as financial stability, taxes, safety, and security make future considerations crucial and significant when decisions are made. London has a substantial number of millionaires, and the majority starts from a very humble background, some move to the city as a small startup, the same is true of many cities like San Francisco, Dubai, Geneva, soul, Beijing and a host of others.
