Covid was a test run....people can work home. that's fine when you know it's temporary...and MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

But for most folks, it's also their social life.

People need people.

My 38 year old daughter was let go from a job she had for over ten years with a company that builds and maintains websites for private schools. She had been working remotely for several years. The company did not even have a corporate office.

She was offered a new job last week. A 15% increase in pay basically doing the same thing. Again, another company where she will will remotely out of her house. The company is in SC. She lives in NH.

My neighbor is an engineer. He works entirely from home.
Covid may have been the catylist for this change. However, this is a long term change that is not going away.

One of the major changes will be a leveling of real estate prices around the country. Maybe even the world. IF you can work from home. All you need is an internet connection. Elon is making that possible anywhere in the world. So, instead of living in Alabama or Idaho or the USVI. Why not live in Italy if you can buy a house on the Med for under 200K EUROs?
