Tampa is also quite family friendly.
Tampa is a large city (with common city problems), everything around it is a suburb. It might be hot in summer, like everywhere in the South, but other than this the weather/nature is awesome. Despite being an "alligator" state, you rarely see alligators, but lots and lots of birds. I love it here!
For the SuperBowl, the mayor had no choice but require masks and precautions. Otherwise, SuperBowl wouldn't happen at all, CDC and Biden admin would forbid it altogether. Not sure about the follow-up with arrests. The city itself probably more liberal like most cities.
Anyhow, I personally know quite a bit of folks who escaped Chicago and NYC to find freedom in Florida. They are pretty satisfied here. So don't worry, Tampa *Bay Area* (it's literally another *Bay Area* here) is not like NYC.
Next smart choice would be to move HQ for tax perks.
They can just as easily cancel the lease and pay a penalty if it made business sense for them and is cheaper than to stay the full 15 year term. (like Pinterest).
Yeah we are going back to office sooner than later haha
