I just hope the home office trend doesn't lead to an urbanization of the countryside. I'm from a charming village that was overtaken by ugly and expensive developements during the past 20 years because people from the nearest city realised it was within commutable distance.

I die a little inside every time I see someone oneline saying "I can't wait 'till X area has better internet so I can move there", understand "I can't wait 'till X area has better internet so 10k people can have the same idea as me and turn this rural community into a city".

Now in bigger countries (the US, France, Germany, etc.) there will always be cheap rural areas left (though the most desirable areas will probably urbanize and/or become completely unafordable for workers of the primary and secondary sector) but I'm very worried for smaller countries like mine where rural areas are already sought after as of now and it's only going to get worse.
