Another factor to consider is that many people move to a big city for work and higher earnings.

There will probably be some shift back, but I think after all this remote work will be a more permanent option for a lot of roles.

If you're able to get the same higher salary, but remotely somewhere with a more affordable cost of living, and aren't in that area specifically for in-person amenities, why wouldn't you?

My point is that most of the people that live in the city do it for the amenities. The people who are in it for the higher salaries tend to commute from cheaper places nearby.
