For $2B you could probably buy a nice village by the sea with great weather all year round. Having worked in downtown NYC, I'd pick a beach any day of the week.

For $2B you could probably buy a nice village by the sea with great weather all year round. Having worked in downtown NYC, I'd pick a beach any day of the week. But I can see the value of a large marketing, finance and sales presence for a Google type firm in the city. Engineering not so much.

- yeukhon 9y agoI agree. I think the convenience of locating in Manhattan makes sense. For CA, since everyone travels, it doesn't matter (though they do have an office in SF!) I wouldn't mind traveling to NJ if Google picks me up like Google does in CA :-) Bell Lab would have been the perfect campus location for Google :/ (see [1]) [1]: https://www.investors.com/news/once-empty-bell-labs-building-revived-as-new-jersey-tech-hub/ https://www.investors.com/news/once-empty-bell-labs-building...
