Give tax incentives and grants to companies to relocate manufacturing back into small cities. People go where the jobs are. Economic growth would rapidly follow. Here's an example of home prices in a smaller city that doesn't have a strong economic base.


Even Green Bay, WI has some great housing bargains.

Interesting.

The small town I live in might be able to support a small-to-medium manufacturing company. We have a larger town only ten miles away, with more options for housing.

One of the few restaurants in my town closed down several months ago and I miss their burgers. Hated seeing them go.

Bring manufactuing back to small cities and restaurants will pop up like spring flowers.

There are towns in the US that will give houses/land to people who are willing to move to them.
 
I know this, being a bedroom community for NOtVA/DC sucks ass.....Even more so as they moved out here in droves because they could work remotely. There at one time there was only three homes for sale in the whole county.

As it is now every new home they build in my AO is sold before it's completed......Older homes don't sit long either.

Many are just torn down and as many three story townhomes as they can squeeze in built on the lots.

At least the work from home crap is ending so maybe they will not move out here at such a clip.

That might make my town eligible. They've been building a lot of new, mostly 4 bedroom homes in my end of town.

If we could just keep the Californica dems out.

The places I've read about giving homes away have been in KS, NE, IA and they are usually towns that are losing industry and young families, but if I was younger and looking for a way to get started, I might have considered it.

We're just a stone's throw from northwestern IA.

I'd love to see younger families around here! We have a wonderful Catholic church here and we love big families!

Manufacturing jobs today, unlike 30 or 60 years ago, don't require the same amount of human labor due to advanced automation and AI.



We will eventually have to organize production and society to effectively accommodate advanced, intelligent automation without compromising people's standard of living. Thanks to advanced automation, people's lives should improve when goods and services are more readily available and affordable.

Housing will also go up.
Depends on the wages paid. Manufacturing is blue collar work. The pay doesn't justify raising home prices much. Also, many homes in these places are in need of some TLC.

Nothing improves a person's life like employment.

No worries. They'll go to Texas, "Where the weather suits their clothes" (banking off of a northeast wind, sailing like a summer breeze...).
