A) There's only so much housing near campus buildings.
B) Prices can become extreme near campus buildings because landlords know they can charge exorbitant prices and still find a tenant.
C) Moving to a more expensive place impacts you _and_ the rest of your family via shared rent, utilities, etc..
D) Your significant other, if you have one, may not work at the same company. So you may end up shortchanging your spouse and taking time away from them and their lives?

I'm not advocating for living literally right next to campus. But to say you can't compete is disingenuous. The whole reason Mountain View is so expensive is because there are so many engineers from Google who can afford it.
