    I would love to see incentives to have people work from home in towns that need the population. I think a lot of people would like to live somewhere more rural if they didn’t have to commute… but we would need to fix public transportation if we did that. Otherwise we’re just adding more cars and miles.

      I live rural, and wfh and have been for nearly a decade now. My cars get way less use than when I had to go into the office. Rural doesn’t mean more traveling and cars if you’re working from home.

      I can’t see the locals in such places taking kindly to any formal program to move people there. We can say “these areas need population” but they will say “it’s driving up rents and they’re a bunch of city slicking tech bros and we hate them.”

      The areas that truly, undeniably need population are so bombed-out that no one with any other options will live there.
