> Else those remote works are just going to increase even more housing costs (both rent/real estate)

I'm not sure that's true. Remote work does not require workers to be at commute distance from anywhere, and it only requires them to have a reliable internet connection. Everyone I know who switched to remote work moved out of city centers and into places where both rent was lower and quality of life was higher.

What exactly leads you to believe that fleeing tech hubs and urban centers leads to higher rents?
