at san francisco. new data from the u.s. census bureau shows the city has the largest percentage population drop of any major u.s. city during the pandemic. kpix 5 sean chitnis spoke to one worker who made the move, and asked experts whether the trend will continue. >> reporter: experts who follow population trends say this new data isn't surprising, and it's not only happening in san francisco, but for people who live in this city, the combination of the high cost of housing and the ability to work remotely is making it a popular choice. . >> when the pandemic happened, i was really just focused on living in my kind of shoe box environment. and really kind of covid gave me a chance to look for a little bit more space. >> reporter: tim long moved to san francisco five years ago. he enjoyed city living, but as the experience changed from 2020 to 2021, he decided toe make the move to the suburbs. >> at the end of my time living in san francisco, i almost felt
