Much like the SanFran story from late last week, WFH has made it so people can have a job and live anywhere.

It certainly isn't universal. Not all jobs are like that. But a lot of the tech sector jobs certainly are. Places like Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley are going to get drained as people move out to lower cost areas.

I mean, Kim technically works in Florida now. If they want her in the office, she'll have to get on a plane. - David May 26, 09:45
NYC is about way more than the job you can get living here. -- nm - Krusty May 26, 09:06 4
- Like the article Zeit posted, there's certainly benefits to living in the big city. But people are still leaving. - Mop May 26, 09:12 [Backboard] 3
  - People are always leaving. And people are always moving in. -- nm* - ty97 May 26, 09:23 1
    - That's what makes it New York. -- nm - Beryllium May 26, 09:24
  - And I'm sure there will be many people waiting to take their place. Omaha is cheap but it's still Omaha. -- nm - Krusty May 26, 09:15
What about industries like restaurants and theater? Those are staples of the NY economy. And forgot to mention tourism. -- nm* - loosilu May 26, 09:05 6
- If only I had said "... a lot of the tech sector jobs ..." - Mop May 26, 09:11 5
  - They commute from the boroughs more than anywhere else, not NJ. A lot of NJ commuters work on Wall St., in finance, law and other white collar jobs. - Krusty May 26, 09:19 1
    - You do have some service industry commuters from Jersey City and Newark but it's expensive take the PATH train back and forth daily. - Krusty May 26, 09:25
  - If Wall Street street goes remote, then it would be an interesting conversation. -- nm - Beryllium May 26, 09:13 1
    - It's mostly remote now and has been for years. No one is on the floor like in the past. -- nm - Krusty May 26, 09:17
  - That's not NY's biggest industry, unlike SF. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 09:13
