> One thing to recognize is that people who moved to SV for work, pretty much by definition, put career ahead of friends, community, and likely family. So it shouldn't be surprising that many of them will not like remote work if the whole reason they moved is nullified.

Shouldn’t they be happy that they can have their cake and eat it now?

Move back closer to those friends and family and keep working your dream job!

I think a lot of younger people want the tech boom at the beginning of the 2010s they missed out on. Tech was still ‘cool’ and the energy in SV/SF was high. That era is over, honestly it started ebbing in 2017.

Except there is the RTO crowd and the WFH crowd might have to defend WFH. Hence all these comments.

I personally prefer WFH but think WFH is secure and don't want to unnecessarily hurt RTO but I'm not sure I'm right.
