Except for people thrown over the rails. (Tristol)
And
People who come and go as the please (Lue-Reeq)
And
Those who lose their job (Olvara)
And
Not to mention WoL and Alphinaud walking out the front door after insulting Vauthry to his face.
(I just thought it was funny since they used the no one ever leaves thing as a plot point a couple of times)
I assume proper citizens can come and go from the city whenever they please, they just usually don't because they're comfortable in decadence. I mean, Ran'jit and Vauthry leave Eulmore to visit Lakeland during the story.
Also, Tristol just got lucky he didn't get turned into Soylent green.
Free citizens can come and go as they please, they just rarely bother to leave because most of them are complacently wallowing in their debauchery. It's not that nobody CAN leave Eulmore, it's that they don't want to.
