Remote work is reshaping San Francisco, as tech workers flee and rents fall

This is ridiculous. Basically every city in the USA is within a couple hours' drive of "amazing nature"

The only reason I live in the Bay Area is because my net worth goes up WAY more here per year than it does elsewhere.. If that changes, I'm out

Finally a truthful comment. Everybody goes there to make money, that's it. There's nothing wrong with that, so why do people still try to pretend that isn't the reason when out of view of their employers?

Most working professionals live where they do for one of two reasons:

1.) Family/spouse

2.) Where they can get the best-paying job

If you offer most people 50% more money, and they aren't tied down by family obligations, they'll skip town for that new job in a heartbeat.

This is the difference between the SF of today and the SF of 10 years ago

Given remote work, you can literally move to a cabin right next to Yellowstone so yeah I agree this line of argumentation is not that compelling.
