I can't remember where it is, but I visited the mountains on the WV/VA border in one small town that seemed to have been split in half during the creation of West Virginia and it's really incredible how even as disinvested most small towns in rural VA are, they're still significantly better than those across the border in WV. Same for Western MD and WV. Stunning area but one is going to hell and the others not as much.

Even with high speed broadband in rural areas, and even if there were high quality (to say nothing of high speed) rail to certain rural areas linking them to central cities like DC and Richmond, I don't think that would do enough to lure significant numbers of people to so much as stop the bleeding of population loss. Even with these advantages the headwinds are significant. The reason why Loudoun and Powhatan etc have such high WFH rates is because (I assume here from experience with coworkers who lived in Powhatan anyway) that their spouse also worked in a job you can't do from home but still require a BS or greater (nurse, teacher, lab scientist, things of that nature) and only one of them would have a 20-30 minute commute (probably more in Loudoun and greater NoVA), so they get to have that land and "privacy" for a relatively affordable price.
