Several tech giants in the Bay Area have announced that employees can opt to work from home after the pandemic ends, with many residents already working from home part-time due to the global health crisis. A survey of over 1,100 Bay Area residents found that about half plan to leave San Francisco if they can work remotely, citing high costs of living, housing, and population density as top reasons for wanting to move. The majority of respondents are happy with the local government's response to the pandemic, but some want to relocate due to financial constraints or a desire for a better quality of life in other cities such as LA, Seattle, or Portland.
