Reply to comment by Wild_Garlic in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico

Let me throw another log on that fire:

Do rural areas typically have the quality of schoole that an educated professional wants for their children?

The answer is Definitely Not. That eliminates any remote workers with kids from moving out to West Nowhere, Alabama.

Yes they definitely can.

Can.

In theory.

But do they generally have those schools?

I considered this because I could have sold my house last year and bought 10 acres in a rural nowheresville here in Texas, but then I looked at the school system and it was a hard No.
