Ya skiing Huntah?
Ha. Only skied it once. Was a Wyndham guy in college. Easier to point it north on 87 to the ADK.
Hope to ski plattekill, the Silverton of the Catskills.
I rode a red plastic sled down BristolQuote:

Places across the US offer cash, homes, and other perks to lure remote workers and other relocators.
Insider rounded up the states, cities, and towns that will reward you to move there in some way.
The requirements to claim the incentives vary from full-time residency to a real-estate purchase.
Remote work and the search for housing that's affordable have permanently reshaped where people live — and cities across the US are noticing.
A number of places are offering new residents big incentives, like cash or free land.
^^Those towns should be thanking their lucky stars they AREN'T being targeted by remote workers. Fools.
Please elaborate.Quote:

But maybe Kansas doesn’t view these folks as a negative like Montana does.Quote:

That was Montana 10-20 years ago. With all the natural resource jobs disappearing everybody thought people working "over the Internet" were going to be the savior of the state's economy. And for awhile it was okay. Then covid kicked the migration into overdrive and now people working remotely has proven to be the ruination of a really cool place where young people used to be able to move with nothing and live cheaply and live a great life enjoying the mountains and rivers--paying the "scenery tax" because high paying jobs were rare. Now real estate values are through the roof and my own kids will never be able to afford to buy a house or live where they grew up.Quote:

Climate is going to make Montana even more desirable over the next 50 years as well... used to be the prospect of the horrific winters was enough to deter a lot of people.Quote:

Bingo!Quote:

The industry or the local factory leaves town and then there is nothing to support these places. Maine is a good example. There were lots of small factory towns and when the manufacturing went over seas the towns dried up. Shoe manufacturing jobs in particular. Now all that is left is empty downtowns and meth.Quote:

Hey if a WFH family wants to repopulate the midwest instead of the more desirable locations then thats one less group of people standing in line at your local Bozeman Starbucks. I don’t have a problem with them or anyone repopulating the plains. Maybe they’ll change the voting habits there too. The more we can spread people out the better.
Girl, don't even get me started. I spent the better half of a decade trying to find husband material in Summit County. The WORST jackass was a remote worker moron. Even the disabled line cook who admitted to a murder on our first date was better company.Quote:

Well, there you have it. Summit Co sucks because they admit murder Jersey Shore knows to lie.
Idk why he dropped that bomb on me, man. We were having a great time closing down Coppertop and getting ready to take it to Mulligans for dinner. Moron.Quote:

Ugh, what a nightmare first date. So glad I'm not single anymore! [emoji849]

So what? This completely misses the point. And it's a myth anyway.Quote:

Yee Haw, lots of real estate agents (and property owners) in New Mexico and Colorado made millions off of 'em over the last thirty or forty years, why not get some of that filthy lucre?Quote:

dunfree and I are moving in together, with his poor credit and bench warrants it's time for a change. Luckily this gem is right up our alley.
We look forward to hosting many of you to the yet undiscovered ski mecca of Forsythe.
