Crazy as there’s no shortage of land to build houses on. Of course there’s also not many great jobs in the empty west or endless fields of corn and soy (coated in cancer causing chemicals no less).
Mississippi has a low homeless rate for a reason. It isn’t just about absolute housing availability, but housing in areas where people want to or have to live. People also either die or leave if they can’t survive there, you simply can’t exist at all on the margin.
and most tech companies are making it clear they want your butt in a seat. I'm not saying full-remote jobs are a single cure for it, but it definitely moves the needle in the right direction, as well as reduces CO2 emissions.
I'm pro remote work any day, but isn't there a case to be made for increasing gentrification due to remote work? I'm seeing this here in Oregon.
