Which basically boils down to internet at this point. Many small towns just have no or slow internet. Water - Drill Well. Sewer - Build Septic Tank Power Prob

  Exactly, a tech job would fire me after realizing how inconsistent and slow the internet is at the house I grew up at in rural Wisconsin. Even my cell phone hardly works if it rains or snows. I can’t even port my number to Verizon because they apparently won’t service 715 prefixed numbers.

  It's definitely a problem, but it's solvable. It's just a function of political will and funding for local internet... Or just hoping starlink brings internet to everybody. But I also think the government needs to give people/companies straight up money to move there or give them some other incentive. It's not enough just to have schools and remote workers in houses. We need to incentivize artists, entertainers, service workers, chefs, etc. to want to work in these places. Otherwise these locations won't last long term.
