Markets, Rent and WFH

I don't understand the post-covid question. If they are moving away from the bay area, are they planning on driving 2 to 3 hours a day to get to the office to show up?

If they only have to show up 1-2 days a week or 1-2 days a month, yes. This is what happened at one of my old companies in the SF Peninsula. Most of the employees lived in Walnut Creek or further. This was pre-COVID.

Not everyone wants to move out of California, but there are a lot of people who don't want live in the Bay Area; but want it easily accessible during the weekends.

I think it's reasonable to assume that most companies will have a different attitude to work from home after COVID-19. Whether that translates to 100% remote is an option for anyone who asks for it I'm not completely convinced. If it does it will certainly change my long term plans in a number of different ways.
