On a longer trend, the full autonomy promised by Level 5 self-driving vehicles will open up interest in "beyond the burbs". Many more remote locations of America have reliable power, and a water well and septic system takes care of your utilities. Heat would be served by either natural gas, or wood. For IT people, while internet may be below broadband in more remote locations, both SpaceX and Amazon are bringing to market high speed space based satellite internet that will in some cases exceed bandwidth or latency requirements for most urban locations. If I had an option to work remotely I would select a location based around these premises.
