I don't think there's an "agenda" here.

There were dozens and dozens of articles in every publication over the last decade or longer about the decline of SF, COL is too expensive, homeless, dodging shit on the street, etc.

Then the pandemic and exponentially more articles about the flight from SF, NYC, etc. people are now fleeing for good.

Of course the actual statistics show a tiny fraction of people left SF. I think an article which focuses on this reality is well warranted.

If anything the people criticizing this article have an agenda in their belief that SF is awful and everyone should leave and anything to the contrary is of course biased.

Not that I should have to say this but there is of course plenty to criticize about SF and the Bay Area. The reality is the overwhelming majority of people are not leaving anytime soon. Only a tiny fraction are leaving.
