@Phil Wells Sure, there's the potential that some fractional percentage of people may want to leave major cities to telecommute, but honestly, broadband outside of most major city areas is abysmal. For anyone seriously looking to move and telecommute full time, that's going to be a must, so yeah, maybe the really dense and pricey areas take a small drop for a short time, but that likely will get filled in by the outer ring of suburbia around them that's been waiting for years to move in closer to the city when the price was right.
From there you have to think... where would they go if they were both trying to get away from dense populations but still have options?... Some ideas could be the triangle of Des Moines, Kansas City and Omaha. Middle America house pricing, but hey, you're within an hour drive of a major data center for every serious cloud services company. Probably Iowa area as a preference, as they don't block muni networks, so really small cities there can build out fat pipes to the internet to attract telecommuters that need lots of bandwidth, but want small town population density, and short drive to 3 larger cities if you want to still have the occasional city experiences.
