> From the discussion here, it sounds like in-group signalling. I'm so confused why someone would jump to "I don't do it" to "it must be an in-group signal". What group would this even be?

This type of use is exactly what I was talking about in my original post. It does wonders for positive communication. Even if some don't see the need for it, as the article discusses, you need to consider your full audience!

Go take one-two weeks off if you can, seriously. Even if just to stay in your area, maybe do some park/nature walks. The reset truly helps. The need for vacation didn't go away because of quarantine.

What is curious to me is that NYC rents haven't seen the same crater at all (link says 15% but anecdotally most of the desirable top of market neighborhoods aren't budging). I don't buy the "SF is not very fun during the
