> I think its a bit presumptuous that tech workers are perm leaving the city.

The survey in OP suggests that they are, with two important caveats:

* This is obviously not even close to a representative sample of workers

* It's predicated on "if you had a choice", and we don't know how many people will actually have that choice

Anecdotal but:

6 of my 9 direct reports have asked about permenantly relocating.

Myself and half my team are looking at permanently relocating out of Chicago. The pattern holds across other teams where I work.

Others I know in the industry are just up and leaving for remote-first companies and then moving to where they’re most comfortable.

The most important caveat is that "they plan to". People fail to do all kinds of things that they plan to.

This article doesn’t provide a baseline to compare the latest survey against? What percent of tech workers were already on the fence with regards to moving out before the pandemic hit?
