I'd be interested to see a large group of remote workers move to a small town and try to build a community. You don't have to move the entire company to these places, only some of the people at each company.
Small towns frequently offer tax incentives for manufacturing / government contracts. The same thing could be provided for those working remotely. It seems absurd but I think it could work. Two examples:
- Local/state tax credits for remote workers that live in a given area for > 2 years
- Subsidized loans for remote workers that decide to buy property
It might be considered unfair by the existing population, but the workers would provide a major jolt to local economies. One would assume that service industries would build up around them, in turn creating jobs.
