    7. How Working Remotely Will Affect Property Values...
      Work Remotely?  Know Anyone that Does?
      In today's post, we will discuss several articles that I found while doing some research for the podcast.  I discovered a recent study that showed that Phoenix once again was a destination city.  However, most people looking were from Los Angeles.  This lead to a interesting side issue which brought up a up and coming trend.  The preference of companies, as well as people individually wanting to telecommute.  
      This brings up a question.. if people don't need to live near particular city metro areas.. how does this affect value?  
      The answers, are surprising!

      A Dangerous Virus Plagues California Ever since Mayor Libby Schaaf decided to get the City of Oakland involved in what would otherwise be a civil matter disputed in the courts, things have progressively gotten worse.   Now, a dangerous virus is spreading like wildfire in Oakland, San Francisco, and the Bay Area in general.  It is far worse than Corona Virus... it spreads quickly, and is difficult to contain.   Hopefully, the contagion will not spread to Tucson!
