Can't you apply similar arguments against pretty much any innovation? Most innovations decrease the amount of work needed to accomplish something, necessitating "fewer" jobs.
If remote work is advantageous for the majority of parties involved, I don't think we should force people into a specific geography just to allow the local Taco Bell to charge $6 for a Beefy 5-layer Burrito.
As it is, high-earners in the Bay Area are struggling very hard to try to buy a home, so I'm all for opening up the opportunities to move to some more affordable areas.

HCOL extends past housing and actually empowers your less fortunate blue-collar neighbors when things are more expensive. If the people at the top take their money and run (rightfully so), it just is not contributing back to local economies -- those people, those schools, those kids, those families. Rent/Housing is definitely a whole separate problem.
