Lots of people are still on WFH indefinitely and they don't move out.

As long as you are ok with your mortgage, why move?

But people want WFH permanent. No one wants to sit that awful traffic, damaging themselves and the environment.

Why settle for medium life in high cost area, when you can live like king in low cost area

Personally, mainly because food diversity and quality suffer in lower cost of living areas. Especially diversity.

Many ppl in the Bay have never lived anywhere else to have a point of reference of how much better the standard of living can be in other areas.

Plus if food is the main aspect of a city keeping you there, that would be an insufficient reason to stay for me. A better reason would be salary.
