I did have that thought in mind, but was more thinking about how people get upset with their government today (or their neighbors, or anything else they find annoying), but are unable to move to one they like better because they're tied to their house, children's school, etc. But if they can take their house with them, and homeschool with a MOOC, then things become a lot more interesting.
If people are able to move house (all of it but the yard) with 3-4 tractor trailer trucks, things become much more fluid and state & local governments will have to adopt more citizen-friendly policies, or suffer a brain/revenue drain.
Sort of like how Detroit lost almost 60% of it's population because they drove people away with corruption and bad policies. Only now it wouldn't take 70 years to happen.
- PeterisP 13y agoThat's one thing where the renter mindset has an advantage over homeowner mindset - you aren't financially tied to a particular stone, and can easily move as often as your kids can handle the school change and language barriers if you move across countries. Moving house literally isn't an option anyway if you want to move from one jurisdiction to another, as it likely involves too large distances.
