Yes, I've heard more people say that the pandemic has helped make Amsterdam more liveable. But the same kind of backlash that is hitting Venice might happen there too. Essentially the pandemic has given us a short term window on alternative modes and some of those will hopefully stick (such as: work from home and a general reluctance to travel).
Agreed on the wealthy expats and that the locals will likely not return to the inner city. There just is too much money involved. I grew up all over Amsterdam and checked the prices for each of the places where I lived (that info is public) and was quite shocked to see that in spite of being fairly well off I probably could only afford the smallest (a 55 square meter apartment on Ferdinand Bol straat).
