RTO throws a wrench in most of those plans. As does the bleak reality that the opiod crisis or similar is often the reason for the low price. Is it worth $500k

Is it worth $500k to not have your kids live in fear of loonies on their steet? Hard to say it isn't if you can possibly manage.
Investment idea : buy a bunch of homes in troubled areas and then build a mental health facility. Resell them as a safe neighbourhood.
- scarface_74 2y agoI tried to focus on office jobs because I realize it’s a privilege to work remotely that most people can’t do. If you were a teacher, do you think it would be easier to find a nice home in Brookton South Dakota or San Francisco California? And I’m not trying to come across as being pro or anti rural America. I’ve lived in major metropolitan areas my adult life. But I’m from and still visit family in south GA. On the other hand, drugs are endemic everywhere in the US. I know a few middle class families with teenagers and their relatives struggling with heavy drugs - not just weed.
- nradov 2y agoExpand your horizons. Home ownership rates are very high in states like Vermont, Minnesota, and Idaho. Outside of a handful of bad neighborhoods those are nice places to live and hardly overrun with loonies. That fact that you would even mention that as a concern indicates a weird, insular attitude and disconnection from objective reality. RTO or lack thereof isn't very relevant one way or the other. Fully remote work is a great option for some employees but it simply isn't possible for the vast majority of jobs. Most employees have to occasionally be in a certain physical place it order to interact with other people or use specialized equipment or follow security rules.
