Hard to answer when you don't bother to tell us what you like or don't like about NYC.

Well indoor dining is prohibitted which will lead to many restaurants closing down before we can recover from covid. Bookstores also have been hit hard due to covid.

99 cents pizza sounds like the same Papa John's stuff you can get in nowhereville.

I would look more into the pending financial calamity heading the city's way and it's effect on your company,and your finances as the city will be looking to raise taxes on the wealthy and a 2 lawyer household puts you squarely in their crosshairs; look at what the MTA cuts will mean for your commute, and look at what services the city will need to cut to help determine if the city will be able to offer you the quality of life you desire here.

If you can get cheap rent, or cheap home, then why not?

99 cent pizza is the same low quality slice you can get anywhere in america. There is nothing special or uniquely nyc about it. All the good restaurants will likely be out of business when you move back. Thanks Deblasio.

Why would they offer you a pay raise? If you relocate, the companies would probably try to see if they can lower the pay, pretending the cost of life is lower, etc...

Ultimately I don't know what the right answer is. I think it's your choice only.
I would personally go back, because I like NYC, and I find it comfortable.
I know not everyone loved it in the city as living conditions were not great for everyone, so who knows?

If you don't want to come back, just take the decision. If you ask those conditions, do you think the company will just accept them, beyond 4?

His company is not going to pay for his daughter's private school.
Manhattan private school tuition is more then your average private college tuition.

I mean... it is possible if you are considered doing some sort of expatriation. For a high level officer, companies can do it, and it's the occasion to save tons of money for those people. I think it's becoming rare and companies would rather offer high pay but on a local contract. However, I don't know his conditions.

Most of the time, I agree with you, they should just offer the right pay and it's up to the person to pay for the rest.
