Take a place like Kochi where plenty of people want to settle for the weather and food, but a young graduate often has to look outside the state for a decent starting role. That makes me feel Kerala is lovely to live in but thin on jobs, though I honestly can't argue it well.

Imagine a fresh graduate in Kozhikode scanning job listings and finding mostly small local roles, then looking at Bengaluru or Chennai for better openings. My opponent hasn't really given a counter, so I admit I'm not sure how to push back, but my gut still says living is easy while jobs are scarce.

The practical result is that plenty of people may settle in Kerala for the comfortable living but still end up commuting or moving elsewhere for decent work, which drains local talent. My opponent says opportunities are better, and fair enough, but I am not sure how to argue back beyond that gut feeling.
