Comment on comment regarding idea of some sort of remuneration going to the home town of those who grew up there. The difference between a town of 1500 and 12000 is very significant the further you get from a (real) city. Kids from nw Kansas drove to Hays to party, not Denver or KC because they were 3+ and 7+ hours away by car.

They were talking about the tax dollars of remote workers going to the smaller towns. It's not exactly a program that needs to be set up. It didn't seem relevant to me in terms of the discussion, so I countered with an even smaller town. I grew up in a decent-sized metro area, but I've definitely lived the 3-hour drive to the nearest Target. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
