I work for a Tech company and we're highly considering going remote as well, shuddering our three level office in FiDi NYC. It would save the company hundreds of thousands a year, which is going to go directly back into the pockets of a select few and unlikely to show at all in employee paychecks.

I prefer working from home as of late, not having to pile into the subway like a sardine, ect. I do think that we're starting to see something strange though and I think it might change the energy of some cities. I think New York is going to end up losing a lot of it's office jobs in town and the suburbs/other cities will start seeing an uptick in New Yorkers. Same could be said for SF and any high cost city.

It won't destroy the cities, but cities will likely skew more blue collar/essential worker filled rather than big earners who don't need to go outside to earn a living anymore.
