I agree cities seem to have weathered the telecommuting trend. Not that long ago everyone predicted decline because you could work from anywhere, so the annoyances of cities were no longer completely necessary.

But it turns out there was value in social structures and meeting face to face to conduct business, and the younger generation wanted to conglomerate around the likeminded and have nice places to eat and relax

What we might see is the highest ranking cities grow and stay healthy, while the lower end cities that always seem to lose struggle more, and those that are now up-and-coming have to work harder to keep their positive momentum going.

Others may have specialized internal issues, such as the cost and availability of housing in SF and crime in CHI, etc
