Maybe they just want urban living with some space? Having done both, it was really nice being able to walk everywhere and ignore the car and traffic most of my life. More things to do, etc.

I’m sure there aren’t too many people into commuting, so if they don’t want cities they want WFH? Or do they want lots and lots of regional offices? Y’know, when a FAANG drops an office somewhere, rents and mortgages are going to increase..
