Rent is crazy expensive despite super high vacancies. Rithm School was in person with a great office in the heart of SF and might be able to comment on this, but it's prohibitively expensive.
That said, my partner used to run a free bootcamp in the heart of SF that we paid rent for from our savings and some people got remote jobs anyways, but some people just met random engineers in person, which led to networking + jobs and it did help, but you can always just move to SF while doing a remote bootcamp and get a similar benefit.
Codesmith opened a NY in person program but the enrollment appears to always be lower/fills up slower as they have repeatedly pushed back application deadlines for it almost until a week or two before the program start.
