I have worked remotely for more than 10 years and I hate big cities.
I lived in Palo Alto once; never again. There are so many great places and small towns in the US that could use an influx of money and energy. These places are beautiful and housing is cheap.
Tech needs to spread the wealth by moving to small towns.
Small towns have been suffering from reduced wages (and therefore reduced tax revenue) and a brain drain to cities for decades.
Join the local city council and help improve the small town you moved to.
- miranda_rights 6y agoI moved to a small-medium city in a more rural part of the US, from SF, about 6 months ago. It truly is beautiful from a nature perspective but the car-forward culture and lack of diversity makes it difficult to imagine living here long-term. My non-white partner has no community here and we as a mixed-race couple have gotten a few "looks". It's hard to help improve an area where you feel unwanted and out of place.
