I can’t see the locals in such places taking kindly to any formal program to move people there. We can say “these areas need population” but they will say “it’s driving up rents and they’re a bunch of city slicking tech bros and we hate them.”

The areas that truly, undeniably need population are so bombed-out that no one with any other options will live there.
