It is not a new problem of not having enough workers to work the services, businesses around more well to do population centers. (for lack of a better descriptor).
It has been going on for years.....MANY years.
One of the keys to attracting those who serve (servers) is affordable housing nearby the areas being served.
A problem most growing communities have had for generations. A problem that has been discussed for generations. A problem that has gone unsolved in many of the growing areas.
Seems like an issue most would support .......as long as it is not in their back yard.
Hence not much gets done about it.
I have been on committees and organizations over the years where this subject was worked, verbally, year in and year out.
In the end the majority of servers still commute from surrounding area of larger communities. The ones who want and need to work have no choice but to commute.
My 2 cents.
