That's not exactly honest. There's a reason there's no small remote-only startups in those massive expanses of land; there's nothing there to begin with.

If you're only interested in growing an economy — as opposed to growing a society — it makes sense to give that land to businesses who will pay taxes.

I thought this was a tech startup forum. Since when did meatspace have any effect on a startup's success?

Even if you're the only employee in the company living in that place, if it's not somewhere with basic conveniences like stores within 20-30 min drive, that sounds like a huge tradeoff.
