You want people to move to your rural town in the age of people working from home? Invest in fantastic high speed Internet. If the houses are cheap and the nearest grocery store isn't an hour away you'll get all sorts of very smart, highly-skilled people moving there.

Unless there's Confederate flags and MAGA signs everywhere. Then those people will stay the fuck away.

If you can put up a pride flag at town hall and keep it up year-round without a local political firestorm you might stand a chance 🤷
