That only scales to a point. Other side-effects of a larger population, like increased traffic, are harder to address than just building more houses.

Remote workers don't commute though. Vermont's population has also been declining for years though and before that trend it was stagnant for decades[1]. Also if you've been to Vermont you know there's plenty of room to build there.

That seems like less of a problem if all the new residents are working remotely though, yeah? There would of course be some new traffic, but it wouldn't be a huge mass of people commuting to the same place.
