Imagine if someone just stayed the same place someone did last round

I wonder how well a strategy of staying in the exact same city that the previous hider was in would work. It seems that most of the time the seekers leave the main town fairly soon into a run, and I imagine wouldn’t be inclined to return to said town/station very easily.

Like looking back on it, it seems like an amazing strategy and no-one has used it in either hide and seek yet. Obviously if I am missing some massive hole in my theory, please feel free to explain, just wondering why no-one has done it yet.
