> Will be solved by tech making remote work viable and thus reducing demand in cities

Remote work is viable, and yet the major tech companies are focused on hiring developers in a small number of overcrowded cities (or moving developers that it hires into those cities). I expect no solution to housing or remote work from them.

Isn't that exactly why we should expect a solution from them? Google knows first-hand why some leaders are opposed to remote work, and stands to make a lot of money if they can overcome it.
They haven’t shown any interest in doing so; if they are going to, I’d first expect some indications from them that they see it as a problem.
