Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3967301, member: 1414"] These two keep arguing, but again, back on topic. The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article on breakout cities. This is exactly what I expected would happen, even before the pandemic, as work from home was already a trend that the pandemic just accelerated dramatically. Greenville, SC and Des Moines, IW and Provo, UT are mentioned. "Greenville may be the best example of these rising stars, which also include places like Madison, Wis., Fort Myers, Fla., and Columbus, Ohio. Greenville sits midway on the four-hour stretch of Interstate 85 between Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta. It is near the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the northwestern region of South Carolina known as Upstate, and over the past several decades has drawn both residents and international companies in search of lower costs and business opportunities a short drive from larger cities. Those strengths were accentuated by the pandemic. When venture-capitalist Cliff Holekamp sent his staff home from an office tower in downtown St. Louis in March 2020, he realized he could live anywhere. He chose Greenville."
