Remote work has basically ensured I don't have to leave the town I'm in. I live in a small city in Iowa, specifically one with fantastic municipal internet service. It's got a Target and a handful of good restaurants and is a few hours from family. I don't plan on leaving now that I can work for a large variety of remote companies. You should try to live somewhere because you like it -- not for money or job reasons. Obviously that's not always possible.
