But the funny thing is, the California "countryside" is languishing because of a lack of people/jobs
But instead of going there people prefer the big established cities elsewhere
- akudha 6y agoAny particular countryside town you’d recommend for someone working from home?
- bobthepanda 6y agoA lack of jobs is usually not considered a positive thing when looking for a place to move to
- raverbashing 6y agoTrue. And it's a bit of a catch 22 because even if you have your job, the city might not be good in terms of infrastructure, resources, schools, etc
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoBecause living in the "countryside" in TN means I avoid a nearly 10% state income tax. And as a remote worker that's worth whatever marginal difference exists between CA countryside and TN countryside
- ryandrake 6y agoSomeone else said it, but their comment is dead: California is bordered by a state with no sales tax to the north, and no income tax to the east. I would love to move to a more "rural" area if my company ever adopts remote work, but there is no financial advantage to rural CA over, say, rural any-other-state. If I'm going to move to the countryside, far away from my job, to remote work, I'm going to keep driving the moving van to at least cross a border, to avoid all that extra expense. I've never lived there, but I bet the east and west sides of lake Tahoe have similar quality of life, similar amenities, similar schools, but living just a few km across a border could mean you keep thousands more per year of your compensation.
