People have been talking about this on HN for a few months now, and I never took it seriously since these threads are always filled with people quoting numbers saying it's not happening.
That was until last month, when two tech workers from San Francisco moved into the neighborhood.
Both have the same story: Their company went work-from-home when the pandemic started, then made it permanent, so the company employees are fanning out all over the country to make better lives for themselves.
Now I look at all of the new California license plates I see around town and wonder.
I never thought of my little corner of nowhere as a better place to live. I only moved here because it's cheap and as far away from as many other human beings as I can get while still being near an international airport. But maybe it will work out for them.
Good luck to the new generation of digital nomads.
