>These HN comments don't seem to grasp that there are two distinct groups of people here, and these trends can/will counteract eachother: the ones that are in the city for work, and the ones that are in the city because they love cities. COVID creates an exodus of one, but people in the latter category are also moving into cities as well as prices drop and they are no longer priced out. Exactly. And it seems well planned cities with outdoors/health/lifestyle perks are extremely attractive to these folks who love cities right now (as opposed to polluted concrete rat race). Will be interesting when nightlife/irl events resume. FOMO to reconnect irl on the horizon?
