    The Tulsa remote work experiment (a private foundation pays $10k for remote workers to move to Tulsa) seems to be working out well. https://www.citylab.com/life/2020/02/tulsa-incentives-work-remotely-coworking/604873/ … Two observations:

        1) It seems straightforwardly obvious to me that every "second-tier" city in the US should bid and bid aggressively here, and that that decision is better the earlier you make it. 2) They talk about someone in the program being a "case worker" for new transplants to Tulsa.

        Case workers are historically assigned to people in poverty, to assist them in navigating the relevant bureaucracies and provide some external high-functioning executive ability to help them achieve durably better outcomes. (Results are, well, mixed.)

        Should we... should we have radically more case workers, deployed across the socioeconomic spectrum? Colleges seem to have proto-caseworkers, particularly if you present as being in distress. I talk to a lot of younger people, and Adulting As A Service would go over well.

        "That's not historically something the government does." I know, I know, but just hypothetically speaking, if the government provides a basket of goods for the middle class, perhaps this is more attractive than some of the basket? Particularly in wake of demographic changes?

        I also don't think it would necessarily have to be government. There are specialists you can hire to e.g. integrate employees coming from abroad in their new life in America. (Due to hilarious circumstances, one such consultant was assigned to me.)

        Plausibly there's some sort of offering, delivered in a relatively scaled fashion but with an actual human available somewhere, to onboard you to e.g. Chicago. "What do you enjoy doing? Sketch comedy? Oh are you in the right city; let me set you up with an itinerary."

        Omaha is ready for remote workers as well. Districts like @MillworkCommons are taking flight with companies like @HeyFlywheel and others hiring like mad...

        I’m staying in Tulsa for a few weeks right now, and it’s kind of a fun place? There’s weird urban sprawl around the edges of the city, but the CBD is pretty vibrant (and full of Art Deco buildings). All mod-cons, including coffee/wine/beer if you care about that

        If you were someone with an earning potential of, say, 60-100k remote, the additional 10k in Tulsa + CoL would mean a big jump in quality of life (from large, rat-racier cities)

        With COVID19 I think we may all be remote working soon 😭
