Unrelated to the article printed in the last issue, Simon Kuper, writing for the Financial Times, indrectly addressed one of the criticisms leveled against eco-cultural communities: that people would not want to leave large urban city centers.
COVID-19 has opened the door to government bureaucrats around the globe to start working remotely. And as evidence, Kuper cites a White House report as well as a new policy that will allow bureaucrats to continue to do so. Additionally, he notes "the UK had begun sending people out of London to a set of “regional hubs.”. South Korea moved two-thirds of its government agencies out of Seoul. Norway put its peace-corps agency in Forde, a small town in the middle of nowhere, even by Norwegian standards. Portugal had set a target to foster teleworking for 25 per cent of its central-government employees by 2023; when the pandemic struck, it almost immediately hit 90 per cent. Evidence also exists to suggest not only do government workers like working remotely, but they believe they are more productive.
Asst. secretary of defence Steven Price identified maybe the best possible outcome: “Federal employees would interact – in everyday settings, whether in churches, fairs, soccer fields or community meetings – with their constituents, rather than as often happens in Washington, only with themselves.”
