    There are some cities that are offering money for people to move there and work remotely. They have the housing but not the jobs? I know Tulsa is one, Somewhere in Kansas, I don’t remember where else.

      Coming from a solid blue city in a solid blue state, that really doesn’t seem tempting. I’m sure it is much cheaper to live there but is it worth it?

      Realistically, my company doesn’t want to let people move without adjusting pay and jobs. I’m sure many are like that. I’m privileged to get pay relative to a high cost of living area so I’m sure they’d be happy to cut me back to low pay. Lower pay and regressive/conservative …. No wonder there is extra housing supply

        Plus many states just don’t have the money for such programs. Particularly the shitty ones with lots of empty housing.

      Vermont has a program for remote workers to move there. I might take them up on it because there’s no amenities in a city that can beat the night sky in a place with little to no light pollution.
