[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twenty years ago, being in the city was not desirable. A lot of these companies located in the burbs back when that was desirable. Moving an HQ is not cheap, especially when metro accessible real estate is expensive. Also, look at Apple's new HQ in Cupertino- it's a suburban island and not really transit accessible. And Google in Mountain View is still more of a suburban campus vs an urban environment. There must be advantages to the companies.[/quote] They don't care, they just plop the campus where it's cheap when they are just starting out and people eventually move to the nearby burbs and drive up the costs. My friend resisted the move there for a very long time, finally got exhausted with commute so much, they just threw in a towel and bought what you call a "shitshack" for 1.5 mil and moved to one of the overpriced SV burbs, much happier now even though they hated the burbs before.
