If governments could make living in areas where lots of living space is available attractive, we would not need new houses.
Perhaps it's easier to make it legal to build more housing in desirable areas instead of convincing millions of people to live in small, deserted villages with no jobs
And with so much remote work available today, why do you need there to be a job there waiting for you? Just bring your job with you.

Yes, it requires jobs, services thus infrastructures thus $$$ or €€€ in that case. It also require changes in corporate culture, as corporations are trying to crack down on work from home as we speak. When it comes to education, as well, instead of making students move to Paris or Rome to study, encourage remote education when possible.
There are technological solutions to these problems, certainly.
