The big question we should be asking ourselves, particularly in a mostly virtual service economy, is why it is the people that have to move and not the businesses that need the people.

Why do we have a society where social standing is determined by how far away from your mum you have to live to get a job?

Ultimately this will be determined in the marketplace. The best thing a startup can do at present is master remote management. Then it can get good people cheap.

Regarding your first point, Businesses do move as well to follow Talent. They just do so very slowly because it is quite expensive.

IMO remote works better in big co vs. small co, since you will never interact with a large amount of teams in person. They can be and will be many offices away. Big co has issues in adopting the latest tools, but that's about it.
