> Personally, I dislike places where people are provincial and close-minded, so I'll stick to the rural countryside and leave SF to the bigots.
I like that quote. Copied it to my notes for future reference.
To expand more on the topic, I wonder if remote workers are a good way to bring some revival for smaller rural communities.
I visit some of those places and many have a beautiful setting, everyone knows each other, there is a sense of a community. It is quiet.
There is probably a tipping point where if enough companies would hire remote workers, people won't be afraid to move to such communities. Currently many (including me) even if they do remote work, would probably be hesitant to move, because if they have to jump ship, they know there is a smaller chance of getting remote work again. So staying closer to a tech center seems like a better option.
