Second this. I'm particularly interested in whether or not the rise of remote work will affect the demographics of smaller cities that have some appeal from a tourism perspective. I can think of so many cities with low costs of living and vibrant cultures that are fun to visit, but where I could never live because of the lack of work. I wonder how that all changes when the majority of jobs are remote-friendly.

Which cities are you thinking of? Vibrant cultures that are fun to visit for a week or vibrant cultures that are fun to live in for 10+ years?
Is there a difference? A lot of people would only want to visit in NY or SF but plenty others would happily live their whole lives there. The existence of a vibrant culture should tell you that some people do like living there (otherwise the culture wouldn't exist).
That's fair. I agree. I didn't think about it that way at all. I've lived in NYC for all but 6 years of my life so I'm definitely in the could live in large metropolis my whole life category
