Until it isn't. That's the magic of the invisible hand at work. And when you can barely afford rent on a WFH-friendly apartment with work subsidies, think of all the regular families with non-tech salaries that can no longer dream of it.

The benefit of WFH is your actual location doesn't matter too much. If the inner city apartment is too expensive then find one further out. Anyone with a full time job should be able to find something with 2 bedrooms somewhere in the country/state of their job.
