Community development

I feel like this has been said ad nauseum for a decade+, but I do believe as more “rural” places obtain better broadband service, maintain amenities, emphasize public safety and safety in general, allow for events/festivals/programming, and have a good school districts that they are the places where people will migrate/gravitate towards in the year(s) ahead. Emphasizing community, walkability, and 3rd places will be important in this equation. Also, having affordable housing options across the income and also age spectrum is a must-have. This is where Land Banks and other groups can play a role.
