I'm happily 100% remote, working from the comfort of my SF home for a company based in NYC. I enjoy that being remote gives me control over my physical working environment (I don't have to constantly wear headphones in an open plan office, etc), and removes a commute from my daily schedule. I _also_ appreciate that SF is a dense city, where I can easily live without a car, use a relatively decent public transit system, where my dietary preferences are generally easily met, and where my race and sexual orientation are thoroughly unremarkable.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoFair, that data is hard to come by. We'll just need to see how fast SF degrows/outflows to know the scope of demand by the cohort sargun mentions unless someone wants to collect the data, run a poll, etc and see how many folks of that cohort will vote with their dollars to be in SF physically. Is the startup ecosystem going to be able to pay enough to drag folks there in the current high benchmark rates for longer (perhaps forever?)? To be determined. YC has deep pockets [1], but you don't fight the Fed [2] [3].
