This is a little too doomsday for me. I think cities, especially NYC, will remain as places of collaboration and culture. It's not all about zoom meetings. Chicago and LA, too.

Maybe there's a smaller size of city out there that's actually more at risk than the really big ones.
Then biggest threat to cities may be the collapse of transit: "The nation’s biggest public transit system is facing ruin. Will Congress save it?"

If the poor and working class have no way to get around a city, they may be forced to leave it. And the traffic may become so much worse it adds to the other reasons for the middle and upper middle class to leave.
