People don’t live in cities just for jobs. I live in the city to go to museums, art galleries, the symphony, plays, comedy shows, concerts, restaurants, happy hours etc. I have no interest in living outside the city and I especially have no interest in maintaining a house.
I really want to go back to my nice office for work.

And there is no way I am going back to going to an office to work.
YMMV
All those things you mentioned LA and NYC has in spades, while SF doesn’t even come close.
All of those things you mentioned exist outside of major cities.

And yes if it’s mixed WFH and on-site then of course the remote workers will lose out. But both Shopify and twitter are doing perm remote for all employees, creating an even playing field.
