The most common reason for someone going remote (that I'm aware of) is starting a family. New York's great, but spacious it is not. I can think of 3 devs who have gone remote, and 2 devs (including myself) who have moved to NYC since I've been here. Most people stay wherever they were hired. The only location-specific policy I'm aware of is a cost-of-living adjustment in NYC (though that may also apply to London/SF/etc., I don't honestly know).
