Please lay out your plan in more detail.

I just want to see the logic of this. You think I can put downward pressure on property prices by insisting on a remote job?

I don't think hiring companies take joy in making your life difficult. They would hire more remote workers if they felt it could work. I prefer working remotely but find it much harder to manage.

It's super easy. You just tell them my rate to work remote is X. My rate to work on site is 1.75X.

Been remote for 10+ years. Make bay area salary and live in a huge house on the beach.
