This reminds me a lot of patio11’s fascinating write up about Japanese Hometown Tax. It makes total sense for small cities to pay for high earning remote workers to move there. Perhaps this will become a trend. https://www.kalzumeus.com/2018/10/19/japanese-hometown-tax/ https://www.kalzumeus.com/2018/10/19/japanese-hometown-tax/
- skrebbel 8y agoIt's related to hometown tax how? Because both have descriptions that include the words "town" and "money"?
- iNate2000 8y agoBoth are ways of compensating for brain drain.
- Finbarr 8y agoBecause it could create a situation where small cities and counties are competing against each other to win the favor of workers. It’s not an identical situation, and arguably this competition already exists, but it’s much more obvious when direct cash incentives are being offered.
- atomical 8y agoIt isn't a small city paying remote workers. I remember when Patrick objected to teachers being paid 60k a year.
