Yep, I saw this play out first-hand. My company hired a good group of people in the Seattle office for a job that was essentially remote. After a few years, the office shrank from about 6 people, to 2 as people decided to just move to CoL cities. Example destinations: Tampa, Santa Fe, Spokane, and Raleigh (in my case). Nobody regrets their move yet to my knowledge. I'm definitely very happy to be saving money, and my standard of living is better. My urban lifestyle hasn't changed much (still only drive 2-3x a month for trips to cities, beaches or mountains) and I'm from NC, so culture stuff like the food and friendly people are a positive as well.
