Every person I know under 40 who is/was living in Manhattan has had a post-pandemic moment of clarity about the cost/benefit ratio of living there. Most enjoy the vibrancy of the city (nightlife, especially the shoulder-to-shoulder raucous kind, is not returning any time soon) and the proximity to their job (most are working from home for the rest of the year, possibly indefinitely). When you remove the social and career draw of the city, it really changes the equation.
