The expensive overrated cities are definitely getting a wake up call. Turns out ignoring cost of living for the last 20 years was a bad idea. And the pandemic made a lot of people realize their high cost cities were fleecing them, they can get 90%+ of their amenities in much cheaper metros. And nobody wants to spend time or do business in a downtown with tent cities and homeless everywhere.

I'd say Midwest cities besides Chicago and Minneapolis have mostly avoided the total chaos of the last 3 years. With the once in a generation cash infusion from ARPA plus the infrastructure bill, these cities and downtowns are about to look better than they have in a very long time. Really a new golden age for them.
