    You just explained how work from home jobs will transform how people buy housing and where they buy it.

      Yeah, my job went remote in 2020 and this year I moved out of the city and just bought my first house in my home state where the cost of living is almost 1/2 of my former city. I could’ve would’ve never bought a place where I was before. I’m sure someone would have loaned me the money but that felt like a death sentence for my small amount of disposable income.

      I make $150k and learned to manage a very strict budget living in the city. Now I have some disposable income and my own house with a yard.
