I was born and partially raised in Columbus and Ohio in general. I defintiely left for the coast as soon as I could get a job that allowed it. So there's at least certain people they're describing the motivations of correctly. That said, there are many who are happy to live there. I do wonder how many young and truly brilliant engineers are on that list, but maybe their presence won't be required on site? It's not an exciting place to be young and dynamic when compared to the big cities on the coasts. The quality of life though, especially for someone raising a family and looking to build their nest egg, is great. Fresh air, relatively low crime, nice large yards and people with good Midwestern family values (might not be the "values" someone from San Fransisco would prioritize though).
