I'll tell you when they're coming back. I'll see the "for rent" signs disappearing and the condos selling again. There is one clue that a trickle has begun: Rents are no longer falling and have begun rising.
I will also tell you that not enough left to wreck the city's "vibe". The neighborhoods where the techies congregate are bustling again.
