Enter WFH
And, if you consider everywhere that you can remote work from to be "a terrible location", then I suspect your definition needs adjusted...
there's no significant work from home initiative at the lower end of the pay scale
if anything wfh has exacerbated the problem, wealthier tech employees are living in desirable cities while people making less and have to go to the office don't have access to local-to-work real estate
"How much does a Work From Home make? As of Oct 11, 2024, the average annual pay for a Work From Home in the United States is $61,178 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $29.41 an hour."
again, believe who you want... but it's a little funny to blindly believe a company incentivized to lie to you more than any other random anecdote
we're on equal footing in terms of evidence (I can build a fake chart based on my own data if you'd be more likely to believe that) and I have less of a financial incentive to lie to you
Do you actually not know what evidence is? Evidence is actual information gathered up from where it was created.
Evidence is not you giving an opinion out of frustration because you want other people to agree that 'remote workers are inflating real estate prices'.

You have no numbers and no information.
You aren't even explaining where you are getting your ideas and how you came to your own conclusion.
All you did was state something and start calling it the truth, then you can't believe that someone would contradict it with real sourced data.
I'm doing the exact same thing zip recruiter is and you can't prove otherwise, you are providing me with 0 data that can be independently verified... you can't even look up their methodologies
so lets see your "independently verified auditable data".
These are just more claims without evidence. You saying something doesn't make it true.
I almost admire the confidence to blindly make a claim without any data or evidence and then to claim again without evidence that the actual data is somehow a lie. No explanation on anything, just a claim over and over.
if it were actual data you could show me tabulation, not some blog post graphic made for marketing purposes
this is a major lack of media literacy on display
You made the claim. Your claim had no evidence. You made a 'blind claim'.
with made up unverifiable data
Prove it.
you're being tricked
Tricked by data from multiple different sources? Prove it.
you could show me tabulation
Go ahead and show me that.
this is a major lack of media literacy on display
You literally don't understand the difference between information and you stating something you want people to agree with. That's not even just a 'media literacy' problem you're having, it's wishful religious thinking.
I'm always fascinated when someone refuses to even explain why they think what they are saying is true, and not only does actual data and evidence not change their mind, they refuse to believe it, but can't even explain why they don't believe it.
Just admit to yourself that what you are saying is not based on reality, it's just something you want other people to agree with.
That's the trick! no one can because they don't share the data or methodologies!
You are doing the same thing you're accusing me of and what I'm saying is you're right! there's no verifiable data on either side.
My comment and what ziprecruiter is posting are backed by the equivalent amount of factual information, which as far as we can prove is exactly 0!
What I'm saying is only based on my experience, and what you're sharing isn't any better... this is the appeal to authority fallacy.
At least I'm not financially motivated to trick you, they are.
What is your data and methodology?
Ziprecruiter is a site companies post jobs. You don't know where their data comes from?
What about the other links? Why do you ignore them?
What I'm saying is only based on my experience,
What experience?
the appeal to authority fallacy
Posting data from a company that collects that data is not "appeal to authority". You have this completely wrong. Appeal to authority would be someone claiming your boss is right about something they know nothing about because they're your boss.
Key parts of are lack of expertise and a lack of evidence. These two things don't apply.

Seriously try rethinking this all from the ground up. Go and find someone in your life and show them this conversation and see if they think someone linking you wage stats from a jobs site and two other places and you saying "no I don't think so" are the same thing.
Don't forget that you not only claimed remote workers were "incredibly well paid" but also that they are "eating up real estate in expensive areas". Are you ready to walk that back since you can't do anything but repeat that you believe it for no reason?
