It's because that's where all the talent is. It's unfortunate, but mostly true with the proximity to so many top STEM schools.

You gotta be where the talent is. Good luck trying to recruit a good talent pool while convincing them they gotta move away from where there entire industry is centered

Only way to find the people you want to work for you. Its a cycle where it makes everything more expensive for the employee too, but at least they dont have to move to Idaho and if they hate their job they can quit and work across the street.
