Yup, you’re right, we have an existential crisis brewing in rural America with remote work and the influx of residents driving cost of housing up when residents who were there already are still struggling from the recession of 2008.

I don’t have a comment or solution to this problem (is it even a problem?) otherwise I’d suggest something. I’m just observing like others, but I will admit to browsing Zillow for a farm if remote work has staying power. I think being able to provide some stimulus economically from this will help those smaller rural businesses. I don’t know. I’m not qualified in economics to predict the outcome, only some hope and some fear of possibilities.
