It has already been happening. I have a rental condo, and I rented it in the fall to a guy who is a permanent work-from-home type in a creative field from Vancouver. He rented it based on a virtual tour before he came out here. He said for what he was paying for a bachelor in Van he could pay for a 2 bedroom here and have money left over, so he thought he'd come try it for a year, save some money, and see if he likes it or not.
If enough people do that some of them will stay.
