A huge number of tech focused jobs are remote first currently. Plus just because you grow up in the middle of no where what is preventing you from going to college somewhere else and even settling there? I see no reason why being a child in a rural area would limit you from college onwards provided you graduated highschool with a decent gpa.

I addressed this in the second part of my post:

>If the answer to any of these questions is no, then you have your answer to why property prices near the cities aren't ever going to match the level of rural properties.

If the opportunities are mostly in the city, don't expect the cost of city dwellings to approach the cost of rural dwellings.
