My office has announced WFH through the end of 2020, with permission to work from anywhere and no changes to compensation during that time. I would estimate 1/3 of people have moved out of the Bay Area as a result - many moving back home to stay with family or friends. Saving 6 months of Bay Area rent is a big deal.
The folks who haven't moved out of the Bay Area have mostly moved to the distant exurbs, expecting (probably correctly) that even if we do "return to the office" in 2021 they'll likely be able to continue to WFH 2-3 days a week, thus the commute won't be as painful as it would otherwise be.
