4. is actually true -- in certain SF bay area it probably needs 2 dev salaries to get a house now.

I fail to see how this is at all relevant to whether or not we should return to in person work. If the Bay Area truly is unlivable, that strikes me as a local political concern. A place with that much wealth surely could have built more housing, infrastructure, etc, but the local population chose not to. Either vote with your feet or live with the consequences of the life you and your neighbors chose.

"getting a house" is not the minimal threshold for success.
