Agreed. Right now, or at least this past year, places like New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Boston struck me as less appealing as Dallas or Phoenix since they are tourist dependent and highly centralized where as downtown here in Houston became a ghost town but few noticed. These cities will come back because WFH is not a replacement for physical offices and never will be. More of an augment and a means to expand talent pool nationally and globally. I worked from home for 10 years and am interviewing with two jobs right now that are remote and am not thrilled about it.
