My contention is they won’t be able to sustain it, because either the wages will be uncompetitive or remote workers will pay off their houses and no longer need to work (as much).

Developers in the standard ranges don't even need to consider what a company can afford when doing salary negotiations. With the exception of small businesses, it's about what they are _willing_ to pay, not what they are able to.

I'm saying levels.fyi-scale wages for a few years in a normal housing market would leave an employee much pickier about companies/projects/conditions vs. someone who still needs to grind hard for his first 1BR in New York or San Francisco.
