I wonder if any research has been done on what the effect on median income would be of distributing jobs that don't require physical presence away from boom towns. Intuitively, it feels like boom towns are price-inflated, and that letting less crammed parts of the USA (for example) get some of the economic activity would be a win for both the long-term residents of the boom towns (NYC, Silicon Valley would become less expensive) and the other areas (there would be more economic activity).
