Investors will look at potential investment places!
This is how cities across the US attract the best minds from Silicon Valley. With financial grants, assistance in finding adequate housing, and so on, cities (and states) all over the United States are trying to persuade educated young people to live in their fields.
As housing prices leap to new and homeless highs fill the city streets, San Francisco and nearby cities such as San Jose and Oakland fear brain drain. And now, many cities across the United States are offering a benefit package that causes residents to pack their suitcases and say goodbye to Northern California.

As housing prices leap to new and homeless highs fill the city streets, San Francisco and nearby cities such as San Jose and Oakland fear brain drain. And now, many cities across the United States are offering a benefit package that causes residents to pack their suitcases and say goodbye to Northern California.
In most cases, these are financial benefits given to those who work from home - something that many Silicon Valley people are forced to do today. We have compiled some of the proposals, whether it is a city, state or other local authority.
And it's important to note that while the offerings are aimed at high tech and similar industries, most of them are open to the general public regardless of their work.
The first city on the list is Tulsa (Oklahoma), which fears that the older workforce will seriously hurt its economy. Therefore, as part of the Tulsa Remote project, it offers about 10 for families who agree to live in its area.

This is the second year of the ambitious project, and last year only 100 people received about 11 applications (from all 50 US states as well as 150 countries worldwide). Thanks to its success, the local authority decided to accept 250 new families this year. Migrate in the city within 6 months, and the applicant must be over 18 and be employed as part of work from home already.
Beyond the financial bonus, participants in the project will have the opportunity to use a shared work space at no cost, such as helping find adequate housing.
