It's not a disease, just that you have limited space at the center, and everyone wants near good jobs.

It's not "limited space". In Germany, as in many parts of the US, strict zoning disallows building housing where people have to work/want to live at the cost of workers to the benefit of rent-seekers.

FWIW, I hope that WFH starts to revitalize all these dying small towns that exist on 90% of our landmass. They were nice back in the day.

Eliminate some of the height restrictions? Most of NYC isn't particularly tall outside of a couple areas.
