If you can develop software, or write your blog, from a remote island, at the edge of a (dormant) volcano (aka: extreme remoters), then why not? Or from any rural farmland area of the country.
Just video call into your daily Zoom Standup Meeting.
How’s the latency of it?
3.57 million people left New York City this year to live out their lives in comfort someplace else, and then 3.5 million people hungry for opportunity arrived to take their place. I hope to see similar results in San Francisco.
Remember which political party runs the city.
While we are at it, lets remember which political party runs the areas that are most dependent on the government. Source: https://wallethub.com/edu/most-independent-states/36426#main...

> About 3.57 million people left New York City this year between Jan. 1 and Dec. 7, according to Unacast, which analyzed anonymized cell phone location data. Some 3.5 million people earning lower average incomes moved into the city during that same period, the report showed.
Questionable methodology that clearly yielded incorrect results.
How about: US citizens saved $34B by not having to stay in the highest COL areas? Why should we sympathize with a minority of rent-seekers?
I've been seeing more of these types of stories with a line like this: > About 3.57 million people left New York City this year between Jan. 1 and Dec. 7, according to Unacast, which analyzed anonymized cell phone location data. Sorry, but I don't really trust the "anonymized" very much. Why should some company I've never heard of have access to my cell phone location data in the first place.
It is anonymized in the sense that they can't write your name into a search feature and find your location history. However, they could likely ask to buy the all data for "57 years old males born in february with a history of calling to Alaska every 5 days" and single you out.
Thinking about this, I wonder if companies providing smartphone apps with invasive tracking are upheld to the same standards...

>Why should we sympathize with a minority of rent-seekers? I don't really think this is about sympathizing with rent-seekers. Cities invest in infrastructure to cover anticipated service delivery well before it's due, and the financing for doing so is a multi-decade affair. Before you complain, this includes things like providing running water, roads that are paved, etc. Really core essential pieces of making a city…
What's that? By what measure? It's one of the oldest continuous governments out there.
Now, when all that is closed, you have only the "bad" parts (the homeless, crime, noise, bad smells... all that with a "premium price")... so, why stay?
Poor people have no jobs, have to move out.... rich people don't have anything to do there, and move out because they can.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
