I just wonder why all of them have to be in the most expensive part of the US. Tech talent might be more accessible in SF but support staff and marketing shouldn't be. Having offices in a cheaper location would not only save the company money but also be potentially nicer for employees. It would probably cut most people's commute time and increase cost-adjusted salaries.

Isn't that the part that is built on landfill & so the buildings will simply sink into the earth during the big one?

    No, the landfilled earth will turn into a liquid, briefly, during a big earthquake and the buildings will sink into them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction
