I wonder what effect this will have on remote comminities. The places that are ghost towns now, and you can buy a house for peanuts because there's nothing there. If the average remote worker can move there, take a huge pay cut and still have a reasonable lifestyle (because no mortgage), then they're going to be irreplaceable.
"yeah, Bob's a bit lazy, and he doesn't do all the hours, but at his rate we can hire two of him for the cost of a decent worker somewhere else"
Of course, eventually this will even out, and arbitraging remote locations won't work any more. But then there will be people living in all the little towns and villages we left 100 years ago. Not a bad thing to happen.
