And, interestingly enough, an increasing number of people have moved to NYC to work remotely from here. Living in NYC is a legitimate attraction in its own right, and is appealing to a lot of people even if they're not working here.
As long as people are living where they can afford and enjoy, that's awesome news.
Personally, I prefer to live in smaller cities, but I lived in a huge metropolitan area for decades. I just grew tired of it. In that regard, remote work for me is a blessing.
That's the beauty of working in tech. There's a lot of companies to move over to. Finance is a lot more restricted.
