If people aren't commuting anymore but working remotely instead, that's a pretty bad sign for the city of SF itself.

The city changes. It’s had boom/bust before (from gold rush through WWII) and when I moved here in the 80s it had an utterly dead downtown, some financial industry, a good arts scene, and was a bedroom community for Silicon Valley.

I miss its grungy period and hope it returns. It’s a little too clean and fancy for me at the moment.

But that isn't the City of San Francisco. San Francisco has a population of ~815,000 people, while the link posted has a population of 3.3 million people.

This page shows the population of San Francisco declined 6.72% from 2020 to 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_San_Francisco
