Yes, but when remote workers (or laptop class as some people call it) move somewhere, the need for manual jobs increase as well, because those remote workers eat burgers, fix their teeth, do landscaping, etc. Moving remote workers to cheaper areas can enable manual workers to move as well, and could lead to more even urbanization.

This is in theory, but I think that, unfortunately, most remote workers don't move and choose to stay in expensive overcrowded areas anyway.
