A new study reveals that remote work is responsible for a spike in housing costs across the country, accounting for more than half of the total increase in prices after the pandemic.
The Great Reshuffling shows no signs of slowing down, making some people question the myth of the American Dream. Where is it going? Was it ever really there?
What makes America? Is it freedom, wealth, social mobility, or equality for all? The lack of a central definition gives life to this myth. Notions of liberty may be discussed in high school classrooms, but what real Americans want is more tangible: a roof over their heads, job security, a homogenous family, and a white picket fence, but only if that fence isn’t too expensive.
The American Dream is as malleable as the people who make up our country; right now, that dream is shifting, and a generation is trying to keep up.
Remote Work & The Housing Market
