Ironically, I had my house in Santa Fe ready to go on the market in April 2020. I was planning on moving to Redondo Beach, CA full-time. Then the pandemic hit, and I have fallen back in love with Santa Fe. I'm not putting that For Sale sign up any time soon.
Yeah, I agree there will be some backlash. Some folks will stay in their quarantine digs, but those who miss the city life will return once restaurants, shops, etc. open back up and public transit feels safe. I worry that people have a tainted, jaded view of working from home. Having worked remotely pre-pandemic, I can say that working remotely during a pandemic is WAY different. The news is depressing, people are juggling childcare, etc. And it's much more isolating now that I don't have the usual social outlets.

We've been nomads since March and it's been hard but also really great in many ways. Glad you're enjoying Santa Fe, the nature looks astounding.
