Canadian datapoint here. I used to expend every cent living in whatever crappy rental I could find in Vancouver. Moved to a tiny island community six years ago and now work remote one of two days a week to cut the commute down. I have deer walking in my yard and 20 square miles of untouched forest to hike in directly where I live. Our internet provider recently upgraded service to 1Gbps, so video conferencing is snappy and glitch-free. Many of my employees are making similar moves. One moved to a mountain town about an hour outside of the city. Another moved to a seaside village. This is clearly the future, brought to us by the vast improvements in remote work infrastructure such as Slack and Zoom.
