Which doesn't seem bad. That would massively increase people's freedom to move around and to work for different employers based in different regions and probably work out well for everyone in the long run.
Very rich hub cities seem to draw so much money away from less wealthy cities. Certainly in UK London has much greater spending and better public transport than basically the entire rest of the UK.
It might be a first step to more equal competition for labour (and naturally for jobs) around a country.
- erik_seaberg 6y agoI’ve found the high concentration of opportunities in the Bay Area to be very valuable, enough so to relocate once and take full advantage for half my career. Spreading them thinly around the entire country (or the world!) will add a lot of friction and leave more people stuck in poor fits. If everyone goes fully remote permanently, this isn’t an issue, but I don’t think a temporary pandemic will lead to that.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoOTOH, I made a different trade-off by staying in my home country, which has some but not that much tech. Now it looks like this move towards remote will mean that I won't have to sacrifice all the interesting jobs for the sake of lifestyle choices. Seems like a win to me, at least.
