Or the U.S. could stop locating its biggest software shops in the most expensive zip codes in the country. But, yes, keeping costs down is entirely about protecting business models.

> Or the U.S. could stop locating its biggest software shops in the most expensive zip codes in the country. The U.S. isn't a person that decides to put software shops in locations. Entrepreneurs setup shop in locations where they are more likely to succeed, and for startups, it's where they can find high quality talent and get funding. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem.
