I think a couple of good things may come out of the pandemic:
1. Big companies being more amenable to remote work. I don't see a total shift to remote to be likely or even desirable but a partial shift is good; and
2. An end to the ultimately unsustainable ultra-concentration of tech jobs in places like SF and NYC.
I see the likely winners here are Atlanta, Denver/Boulder, Dallas/Forth Worth, Austin and Tampa. This may well trickle-down to mid-sized regional centers too. Think Boise, Salt Lake City, Louisville, Nashville, Memphis, etc.
I support this decentralization.
