I don't know how it is in the USA but here in France we kinda have the following issues:

People leave the countryside and small cities en masse
Houses rot empty anywhere that's more than a commute away from a big city
There's a huge shortage of housing in the cities

We need people coming back to the countryside and small cities but all the employment is bundled away in big cities...

it's sorta like that but with way more opioid deaths

edit: and instead of rotting empty, megacorporations buy the empty homes and turn them into airBnBs to keep the house prices high. maybe that happens in france too?

Airbnb seems to be more of an issue in cities than here.
