It's really great for a lot of folks but not without its drawbacks. Some people need access to 'tier-2' or higher cities for things like specialized medical care or educational assistance.
I think some people moving away from the urbs are going to get a shock when they see what incentives will arise because of global warming. Rising energy costs may force you back to a city in the next decade or two.
That said, I'm jealous. I can't wait to leave the Bay Area in another year or two.
- alexose 5y agoThat's true. There are certain things in cities that are irreplaceable. And to be honest, there are tons of things I miss about living in a city. I'm not sure that energy costs are necessarily higher in the country, but I suppose it depends on the climate and the house itself. In my case, I'm going down the solar/hydro route and plan to be off-grid at some point. Climate change is a huge issue, though. Drought and wildfire are existential threats to my current way of life.
