There will be movement, but my sense is it won't be massive. People move to cities for the network effect -- there's an energy you get from being close to other people who are doing interesting things. It affects its inhabitants even outside of work. It's addictive.
People who move to cities just for work and who are on the edge may elect to move out.
But I was born in a city, grew up in the suburbs, lived in small university towns and now I'm in a big city again. I think I'll always want to live in a city -- or at the very least in any outlying cosmopolitan areas with easy access to the city core. COL be damned -- I'll make it happen, even if I have to live in a smaller space.
