[quote=deadzone]yes perhaps due to the pandemic and (temporary for most) work from home situation it may have motivated some folks who always wanted to move to SD to accelerate their plans. But I also expect this to be a temporary trend like any other pandemic related change.
Long term, it will take strong growth in high paying industry to keep prices high here. Cost of living is still major negative for people choosing to relocate to SD for remote work. Unless you are coming from Bay area or a select few other cities SD prices are problematic.[/quote]
You’re assuming that it’s temporary. Does that mean you expect one of the following to happen, since there are currently a lot of companies that are hiring remote workers:
1) the company will open office here
2) the company will make remote employee move

If the employee don’t want to move, then the company will fire them all and try to fill those position and retrain those new employees?
