This is a real and global trend. Same thing is happening in European capitals right now. People, especially singles and young couples, are wondering why they are paying a huge portion of their income in rent in order to be in the city, when they can't go out anyway. Almost all big companies are working remote. If you are not too tied down, it's obvious to make the move. I don't think most people realize how similar the dynamics are in developed economies across the world, and, consequently, what a big impact this, along with everything else going on, could have on the global economy. For sure, the immediate cause of the issue is the corona virus, but a large economic impact might not be easy to just roll back, even after that (hopefully) is resolved.
