It could revitalize depressed areas under the right circumstances. Vacant homes aren't desirable either.

I've had this idea as well. There are plenty of run-down rural communities that are deteriorating just because people move out and don't want to upkeep the town. Housing is cheap there and businesses need people to grow in these communities. It would also be helpful if we had more manufacturing and low education jobs in the US instead of using other countries cheap labor. That would incentivize people to move to these areas because there would be stable work for them.
