This is it for me. I get culture shock every year visiting family in suburbia where walking down to the shop to pick up milk is an hour long affair. When the reverse happens there's a lot of whinging from the kids having to walk instead of being oblivious in ipad land while they're magically transported from place to place.

I've always found it unfortunate that regional areas don't have walkable densities. An fast internet connection with a few pubs, restaurants, shops within a 10 minute walk is all I'd need to relocate in a WFH world, unfortunately few places seem to offer this and those that do tend to be expensive coastal towns.

I'm with you. Where are the few places that you thought would give you that?
Various beach side towns down the east coast of Australia, they built with the kind of density I'm after mostly for the holiday rental market. Something like that without the beach side premium prices would be great.
