This may not benefit employees as much as they think. i.e. this doesn't mean anyone will still make SV money in the midwest.
Also there is the caveat that things like a vehicle become a lot more important for day to day life.
Those caveats given, if someone were to find some land unsuitable for farming and build a tech center there.... It could go well.
- thorwasdfasdf 7y ago100K in the midwest is at least as good as 200K in the penninsula/SF, at least for those who have a family of 4.
- drblast 7y agoExcept that you have to live in the Midwest, so no, it's not as good. I like doing outdoor things in the mountains and the queer culture on the "left coast" that is anathema to more conservative areas of the country. So no thank you, I'll keep my high salary, access to mountains, and ability to retire anywhere I like after I sell my ridiculously overpriced house to someone else. Living in most of the U.S. sucks if you're not a cookie-cutter copy of the socially acceptable suburban family with 2.5 kids and a dog. It's not all about money.
- Apocryphon 7y agoYou already own property, so you're probably not the prospective demographic who would be willing to move to one of these cities.
- bryan_w 7y agoThis is kind of a close minded view. There are nice places to live with queen culture and "outdoors" all over the country. It may not be everywhere but there are a handful of medium size cities across the Midwest that you should visit
