If people want to live in cities and want to have a car-free lifestyle, then more power to you.

Cities are becoming increasingly unaffordable and increasingly violent. I think that we are past “peak metro” and that the absolute refusal of many people to return to office work is going to result in an acceleration of out-migration from cities. This in turn will exacerbate other urban problems as the revenue base dries up and low wage employees become ever more difficult to find in urban areas.

Agree with you 100%, the next few years are going to be wild WRT people moving out of metro areas. The housing costs in NYC for example haven't returned to 2016 levels and likely won't in the near future.
