If they'd locate the jobs to smaller cities and towns we wouldn't have this argument.

- jalk 4y agowho are "they" in this context?
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoWhoever it is who decides they want to build business facilities where everyone else is building business facilities.
- Gigachad 4y agoMy city has plenty of business facilities. They all sit vacant because all the young people move to the bigger cities and all the jobs pay whatever it costs to be with them. It’s almost like gravity, it keeps centralising.
- dinkumthinkum 4y agoOh, that’s easy. It’s “The Man”.
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoIt's whoever decided the new Apple campus should be in Palo Alto, et al.
- VincentEvans 4y agoThey did. Its called “remote”. Now they are trying to undo it.
- ianburrell 4y agoThe prices are high in major cities because lots of people want to live there. Remote work will reduce demand as people don’t need to commute. But lots of people like to live in the city, either because like what city provide or their life there. All the economic activity means there a lot of in-person jobs. With remote work, lots of people who don’t care about particular city will move to smaller ones. But if increased density increases supply, I bet lots of people will move to desirable cities. People who want the big city or want the jobs, but couldn’t afford it before.
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoA bit over 60% of jobs cannot be done remotely. https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2020/article/ability-to-work-from-home.htm https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2020/article/ability-to-work-fr...
