We improve fiber optic connectivity in rural communities
We incentivize young families to move to rural communities
---
The main thing here is we break the unnecessary chains of offices and commuting and allow families to build where they have the space and want for them.
Cities are inherently isolating - space is at a premium - which means there is constant pressure to not expand in many different ways.
You need schools, pediatricians, daycare, other kids, etc. Cities (and suburbs) have those, not sure about every rural area. Certainly not the village in the article.
I doubt it would make much of a difference. Children growing up in rural communities typically move to a bigger city as soon as they can, which is where they then find mates and start their own families. I suspect not many young people are going to give up the social opportunities to stay in a small town or move back there.
But when they want the family, they have the option to go someplace to build it. That's the point. Right now the people meet in the city and stay in the city because they're tethered there.
Normally there should be higher taxes for companies that force work from office when there is no need for that. That is if we really want to be green and also care about the people.
We make wfh a right for all appropriate jobs
