Remote work also means less competition for urban real estate, meaning people who want outlets for socializing, who want to network and go out for drinks, can do so easier! If remote-first workers are able to stay at home, demand decreases. Prices drop. More early-career folk can actually afford to live in the city, including artists and not-developers, meaning more friendships and business relationships can bloom.
