"It seems that despite the ever decreasing barriers, people just don't want to hire, or aren't comfortable hiring, remote workers." The good news is, this is changing, and fast. Pretty anecdotal, I get pitched for remote work all the time, but over the last year or so, the number of offers has gone up significantly . Of course plenty of "we'll help you relocate" type offers too.

Kansas is way closer :-) I suspect you just have to wait a little till the demand supply gap gets painful enough to overcome this particular prejudice/preference.
