Yes I think there will be *some* offset in lost business travel from pent-up recreational demand. Purely anecdotal, but everybody I know is chomping at the bit except for a couple masker extremists who hope to be on lockdown for years to come (they conveniently have what they believe to be secure government telework jobs).

Yes, you can already see this with some real estate trends... NY people moving to PA, Bay Area people moving to the Sierras/NV.
Many of those folks will need to show face at the office once a month, or once a quarter. Less so for the very established independent contractor types who are already where they want to be and have strong networks. More so for young up-and-comers who don't want to be out-of-sight, out-of-mind when they hand out promotions, bonuses, plum assignments, etc.
