It’s not needed for everyone to be able to work remotely. A large subset of people being able to do so should make affordable housing in one location be helpful in other areas.

It takes time and confidence that the remote work is widespread and durable, but it doesn’t have to be across every field.

even 5-10% going permanent remote could shift the housing market dramatically.

doesn't have to be "moving to rural Montana" just a couple hours out of a city, and that would open up the market.
