Buried lede: this is less common now than it used to be. Will it become more common? "Maybe", says one professor of economics. So maybe. Or maybe not.

- unregistereddev 4y agoAgreed. I knew someone who chased high-paying contract positions around the country. His wife managed the house at their midwest home base, while he rented a cheap apartment wherever he was working and flew home every weekend. That was well before the pandemic made remote work common. This arrangement doesn't work for every couple. I doubt whether it will ever become common, but who knows whether it will become more so.
- ElfinTrousers 4y agoI don't see how it ever _could_ become common, just from the sheer amount of time and energy it takes to move one single person around this much--no way that can scale.
