Google and Facebook already have Seattle offices. Big-G and FB are going to close down offices in the single largest talent pool in the world? Not hardly.

- ch4s3 10y agoClearly not any time soon, but if housing prices rise to the point that their workers can't afford to live within a few hours commute of their main campus, they'll have to pay significantly more or move more of their workforce elsewhere. They probably won't keep raising wages forever, but demand will raise as long as the do, and with it prices. It isn't hard to imagine a tipping point where it simply becomes a better economic move to locate elsewhere. I guarantee if several big tech-cos move, so will the talent.
