    Yeah. Seems pointless, but I bet they’re trying to attract folks with work-from-home jobs.

    There’s a big migration of work-from-home folks out to areas where they can have bigger homes, gardens and such.

    I think the theory is that whichever towns or cities attract these folks first will grow into long term preferred work-from-home destinations, using the tax revenue and voting habits of the first folks to move in.

    It’s a gamble, but an interesting one.
