I seriously don’t understand the argument that a remote first world would lead to a move from larger US cities to smaller US cities.
If there is any mass movement that is gonna happen, why would it be from big expensive US city with a lot of different entertainment options to a smaller, still fairly expensive US city with almost no entertainment options as opposed to significantly cheaper non US large city with a lot of entertainment options?
Why wouldn’t people move to someplace in Mexico, or Brazil instead? If time zones are not an issue, why not move to somewhere in Asia instead, like Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, etc.
