More likely what will happen is that a few select rural areas that are currently nice places to live will be turned into NYC like hell holes. Nobody living in the city wants to live in the sticks. They may want to live in a city in the sticks. Self replicating contagion ...
After the Great Cloistering may come the Great Homesteading, as people realize they can have lots of kids on lots of acres, for less than the cost of that joyless, childless Brooklyn 1-bedroom.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1260224150221643776 …

Yes, I predict that big city real estate will lose both value and prestige.

Enjoying middle aged suburban homestead life now with wife & 3 kids, but my 20s and early 30s in small NYC apartments were anything but joyless. God bless both stages of life.

Exactly. I really don’t understand why someone would draw boxes around either way of life. My adult life in NY was a lot more fulfilling than ND. Strong pros and cons across the spectrum. “Joyless” is an unfounded accusation.

I would love to move out to a nice big remote property with a low cost of living. It may take some masterful persuasion of my city-loving wife.

Take her out to dinner at the closest Applebee’s in the area you’re considering. She’ll change her mind.

I really don’t want more of those assholes moving to my rural state. They’re coming already. In ten years we’ve gone from polite, considerate drivers to a smaller version of Boston.
