Both. I think we'll see less rural living and more sub-cities, more tier 2 and 3 cities.

Every technological trend I can terminate suggests more rural living:

  • I believe the future of most non-computer work is telecommuting via humanoid drones. I believe job simulators are showing us what people want - remote gigs without commitment or consequences where they can be replaced and give up at anytime.
  • When I vacationed an hour outside of austin recently, I began considered moving there under the condition that I could commute via self-driving.

But because we aren't forming families, I think we're all deeply lonely and will continue to colocate instinctually. Not for work, but for play.

I think we'll see less rural living and more sub-cities, more tier 2 and 3 cities.

This is actually the current trend in domestic migration in America. Also, moving to those mid-metros from the largest cities.

That's me - moved from a "tier 1" city to a tier... probably 3. Big changes, but overall a win.

is that like using apple vision pro to direct a robot how to build/fix things?

Yeah kind of like that. One of the most popular job simulators is a power washing job simulator. It's mostly about using humans as the last mile of cognition (until machines can do it entirely on their own).
