More companies are now hiring remote staff, so this is certainly going to have a long term effect. The rent might keep dropping, and at some , will there be an equilibrium because more people might start moving in because of the reduced cost of living?

Yeah if housing dropped to something sensible I'd probably move there. Which is why they'll never be sensible. :)

Not necessarily. Detroit, for example, just stopped having people show up after it stopped booming. I certainly think it's possible to reach a new equilibrium, but I don't know if SF is going to manage it.
