- rhacker 8y agoOnce there are unlimited remote jobs, the theory is they can live next door to the restaurant and construction site again. At least over the long term. In the meantime - that is playing out in smaller towns where remote employees are living.
- reaperducer 8y ago>the theory is they can live next door to the restaurant and construction site Yes, because construction sites remain under construction for 10-20 years. /s Not everyone wants to find a new home every month.
- pessimizer 8y agoNot literally "next door." Closer than a 90-minute commute. It's strange that you would read it that way. (What if the restaurant weren't on a residential street, or the two houses next door to it were already rented?)
- majewsky 8y ago> Yes, because construction sites remain under construction for 10-20 years. We're getting there.
- rhacker 8y agoActually many construction workers I've met on the road have RVs so yes they do ;) Not the kind of construction you're thinking of though - pipeline construction.
- nathan_long 8y agoThey're not. But if all the nerds spread themselves out over the rest of the country, the restaurants and construction projects wouldn't all be crammed up in Traffic Jam City, either.
- JetSpiegel 8y agoThe reason restaurants exist is BECAUSE the nerds are all stuck in the same place and they need food.
- nathan_long 8y agoYou know that there are restaurants in towns across America, right? I'm about to go vote for taco makers to have the pleasure of not living in a big city right now.
