    Curiously, bad government is one of the biggest forces driving innovation in remote work. Specifically the dysfunctional SF city government, high CA state taxes, and US immigration policy. If remote is the future, these policies are making it happen faster.

        No doubt all three governments claim to be in favor of fostering innovation. But they probably didn't imagine they'd do it by incentivizing people to discover new ways to stay away from them.

        I like this thinking, but my concern is along a different direction. The real value in tech and business is the people network: how can we ensure that relationships and the effectiveness of the business network are as effective as those built in-person?

        Pretty sure the largest force driving remote work is the failed pandemic response. Pre-COVID remote work was exceptional; now it's normal.

        SF seems like a perfect storm scenario at the moment. It will be interesting to see whether remote workers choose to leave areas with higher functioning government and what their reasons for leaving are.
