The post doesn't have housing data to back up the claim, but the job growth by city is interesting. HCOL cities like DC and SF in the red, as you would expect. Government jobs down in DC is expected, but mostly green in other cities? What is Philly and New York doing right?

The article notes that Philly and also NY underperformed in last few years so really they are catching up to baseline. As a resident of the philly suburbs this matches my lived experience - there has been something of a jobs bubble (at least for some demographics, in some industries) since covid ended but for the decade before that the areas was economically stagnant.
