  Remote work is only widely possibly in the last few years. Most homes I drove past are well kept century homes on 1-10 acre lots

    The work is still remote, they just have to drive to the remote location :)

    In all seriousness, most people just commute to the nearest town or city.

      My grandma used to call her town a “bedroom” community. 600ish people lived in town with most commuting for work. IIRC, there are a couple of nearby towns with around 3k people, the biggest city in the county having 12k people. One of the state’s major cities is around an hour away; think 100kish people.

      I used to think that would be too far to commute, but from other comments on this post, it sounds common.
