If you're one of the people who keeps complaining about how you can't afford a home, maybe you'd prefer it to renting for the rest of your life.
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 a vast amount of non-terrible space that used to be uninhabitable due to zero economic activity
This comment only makes sense if you are assuming a significant majority of these places are "terrible", which is baffling to me, unless you are silently using your personal preferences to define "terrible" in the context of the larger conversation.
