Weird Things You've Noticed Recently

[bubs]

I watch several YouTubers that travel around the country to give insights into a particular area, City,town or rural area. Most all the people they interview in rural or small towns are either old people whom never left or young drug addicts. If we can get strong wifi into these areas I think it will begin to attract a niche segment of young people who want to escape the urban jungle to raise a family. Unfortunately this niche is small as most will want a plug and play new condo or townhouse in an urban area with all the amenities. Few will want a home 30+ miles away from urban areas with a yard that needs time to maintain and a house that needs a lot of repairs and fix ups. Then there is the push for “return to office” even when most all these jobs by trustworthy workers can be done more effectively remotely. So many obstacles and less opportunities for income with rural /small town living these days.

Yeah the problem with those rural areas is the supreme lack of jobs and opportunities. They can't even go into the trades because they're filled with illegals or migrants, and making 10-12/hr at some retail store isn't enough to buy a house, even in the lowest income areas. Heck, you can't even get a trailer with a lot of the wages I've seen. The area I moved to is like this, it's full of rich Californians and Floridians who sold their homes for millions and moved to a low income state, and then there's the poor, living in beat-up trailers. The wealthy retirees don't bring any jobs and they don't spend a lot, they only increased values of property by 3-4x.
