The Upscaling of America
#5
So basically people physically necessary to do certain work, like those that I mentioned in low-status jobs must be where they work. Maybe it would be possible to "farm" such a task as auto-body repair from a high cost-of-living [COL] place like San Francisco to a low-COL place like Modesto. Likewise much of the administrative work, as with banks, insurance companies, and government agencies. If one is priced out of greater Dee Cee because of housing costs for one's skill, and much data is processed on line anyway, then doing such work in West Virginia might make life more affordable. Some jobs can be done by distance. Some can't.

That may soon shape much of American life.
