To put it bluntly, because I don't live to work. Sure, if I could get gigabit fiber in the middle of South Dakota, I could work just as easily as anywhere else. Unfortunately, there wouldn't be anything for me to do outside of work. I live in NYC right now and it's fantastic (and fantastically expensive). I can walk to any number of world class restaurants and museums, take the train to see even more amazing things, and generally feel like I have the world at my fingertips. Is that pricey? Yes. But I work so that I can make enough money to do things I find fun, some of which are things outside of work.
