This is true in the aggregate, but there is substantive impact on culture, team unity, collaboration and all matter of things that happen when people are together. I believe this is a consideration of many Sili-valley based companies that are opening engineering centers in Seattle. It is less expensive than the Valley/SanFrancisco (although costs are soaring), but you can still get the benefit of having unified teams.
