one of my other brothers just paid nearly $300K to buy a house in rural south central PA because they got into a "you don't want to miss out!" bidding war over a house that last sold in 2008 for under $100K. That poo poo just didn't happen there before and honestly shouldn't. The market is artificial.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:The town I grew up in is currently getting murdered on home prices too -it's a three hour drive from Philly. I don't really think it's a lower CoL WFH thing, the town loving blows and nobody in their right mind wants to live there, I just think investors are wealth addicts and won't be happy until every stone has the blood squeezed out of it. You're getting closer.

I would have never been able to afford owning anything in like a 3 hour range around Seattle. I bought 8 acres of forested land and a single wide trailer with fiber internet and a well already on the property, and support my spouse and myself on one wfh salary. Was a no brainier for my situation.

If I packed my poo poo up and moved out to the woods there would be very little or no internet options in this state. I get gigabit fiber here in my lovely neighborhood for $110 a month. My brother pays that for 300mbit down / 5 mbit up cable

I think you're confusion stems from not understanding that these tech moves aren't like going to a town with a pop of a couple hundred or thousand but more to places sized like a college town which are still an order of magnitude smaller than a major metro area but still have access to things like a nice grocery store and fiber internet. When you're looking at metro areas with close to or over a million and pop there's a lot of wiggle room in finding somewhere that has 25, 50, or even 100k that's still substantially cheaper without being literally the middle of nowhere. Though to be fair we do get a lot of tumbleweeds here. PoundSand has issued a correction as of 05:52 on Mar 27, 2023 |

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:I'm willing to bet the people talking about how tech workers should live in rural areas have never lived in a rural area. they loving suck, they're empty and pointless, and they're full of people with no hope of a better life. Nobody with money wants to live in a place like that. why do all you dumb uptight tech nerds hate rural areas so much? Always 'there's nothing to do!', motherfuckers you bragged about how awesome it was you never had to leave home during covid. 'Things to do' is going to end up being the amount of food delivery services available, isn't it?

It's this. Tiny rural towns get a lot of attention because, as others have mentioned, if 1000 tech workers move from the SF bay area to las vegas nobody really notices, but if 10 of them move to bumfuck nowhere it is noteworthy. There are an abundance of places in the US where you can buy a house outright for the price of a down payment in CA, and still live standard suburban lifestyle.

Yeah, local paper just ran a story because some SF tech worker moved to the area. New people is a big deal in towns of like a thousand people or less.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:This is not people moving to rural areas, this is people moving to the suburbs. That's been happening for fifty years now. some suburbs are rural areas. Carnation for example, that place on the cans of evaporated milk, baby food. it’s farms, it’s also now a suburb of Bellevue and Redmond. it’s extremely rural.

It is insane how much rent has spiraled with all the loving parasites latching onto it. Rent really shouldn't be more than 1/10 or 1/5 of your income. It's a loving building. People are regularly spending 1/3 to 1/2 of their takehome on rent because of escalating greed cascades.

the headquarters of places are in large urban cities and to move up the promotion ladder you have to be present and social; I don’t think it’s that much more complicated than that

I love Breaking Bad and here's why: I work a hospitality desk in Santa Fe. Every day, middle aged white lady tourists come up to me and ask if it will be safe for them to go to Albuquerque. They are shaking with fear as they do this. They believe that as soon as they set a dainty foot on the sidewalk down there, they will be %100 murdered instantly. It's hilarious

It's hilarious abq has a pretty low murder rate for a city and a really high theft rate which is really funny. its the most "crime ridden city" in the US entirely off addicts just jacking poo poo
