        USA? The Midwest. Mountain states. There’s a reason wfh folks are making bank out there. You can slowly turn those areas blue too with migration.

            Literally everyone that is WFH is employed by a tech giant with a high 6 figure salary intended for San Fran market standards, but choosing to live in a shack out in the boonies pocketing the difference. This is definitely stable, viable and repeatable for everyone in America. Go make bank y’all.

            Edit: Geez, do I need the /s? Most companies caught onto this shit like 6 months into the pandemic and do cost-of-living salary adjustments for WFH now. Damn near no one is “making bank by moving” any more.

              Shit, here I am in the plains states with a WFH job for a firm the next state over, seriously considering moving my family to a more expensive state with less shitty politics. (Or Europe, depending on where I could get a digital nomad visa.) I’ve got some real concerns about what happens after the elections and I don’t feel particularly comfortable being here, with the way that my family looks and my politics are.

        Pittsburgh. $1000 for a decent 1 bedroom. $2000 for a luxury loft apartment.
