My read on the comment was simply the highly um
elevated risk of covid transmission in very confined indoor public spaces such as elevators. Pretty rational to want to avoid spaces like that in general right now.
More broadly, I think that we've been overdue in general for lower density areas to gain some relative market share in housing preference. This is not the same as saying I think there is going to be a mass exodus from higher density urban housing. But, a relative shift is overdue. Millennials, for example, had been putting off the traditional shift for longer than most anyone thought likely. It was never going to be forestalled forever, though.
The pandemic may have given the final nudge needed.
