It's expensive because it's desirable. Much of today's workforce doesn't want to live in the suburbs and drive to an office park. Living in a vibrant urban area is part of compensation for many.

- wyclif 12y agoHe's not really talking about a vibrant urban area. He's talking about a more expensive office park, and a place where a six-figure income isn't getting you ahead because of the cost of living (especially if you have a family).
