I really wonder why the tech companies and startups don't pour money into lobbying, grooming candidates for public office, etc. Spreading the cost over many companies would make it much more feasible.
Lower housing costs would slow salary increases and make recruiting easier.
Maybe they think the increase in infrastructure (requiring taxes) and lobbying costs would be more than they would save?
Or maybe they see their personal property appraisals increasing and decide not to do what's best for the firm?
