> Digital Nomads wouldnt be anywhere near as common if property/rents werent sky high back home.

The vast majority of digital nomads I’ve seen absolutely /do not/ have money problems. They’re all really well-off with good safety nets.

Moreover, potential lack of privilege in their home countries is not really comparable to the massive privileges that come with this kind of nomadism.

I'm not saying that they all cant afford housing but that given the relative costs digital nomading seems like the better option.

I did it in my 20s with a view to avoiding inner city rents. Probably with inflation adjusted 1950s property and flight costs I would not have done it.
