Much has been written about it, and can be found here and elsewhere.

I've been 100% remote for 20 years. Its ok. Miss some of the collaboration sometimes. Have a local groups of guys I share contracts with so we can pool skills. So that helps.

Smaller midwestern city is a plus - lots of amenities while still very navigable and understandable. Went to my 2nd-favorite Indian place for lunch today (2st-favorite is in next city over, 20 miles). Post-pandemic I'll be able to enjoy one of half a dozen production companies on their various stages. Fresh local food everywhere. Amazon brings the rest of the world of shopping to my doorstep.

In the end I can only live the one life, one person, right where I am. What does it matter how many other lives are played out around me - 50K or 2M? At some point there's only so much I can sample and enjoy.
