> People are still going to want to live in places that have services, entertainment, and so on, so this isn't going to gut cities, but it will make living in the sticks more plausible.

The mass exodus already happened.

Everybody who wanted to leave what they thought was overpriced pretty much already did.

We might see some continuation - but given that companies are trying to claw back as much remote work as possible - I'm skeptical.

I'm now entering my eighth year of working full-time remote since 2008. Had a big gap between 2013 and COVID, but I don't see myself ever going back.

South Carolina is too choice of a place to live.

Enjoy it man. Less stress and no commute is the way to go. Small city life FTW!.

I moved to Greenville, South Carolina when COVID hit and absolutely loved it. Perfect weather, good balance of space, cost, and still enough active cities if one wants to eat at nice restaurants.

But I'm not sure anywhere was gutted to see them go. Some people hate being around others, many love denser communities.
