Please someone explain something to me regarding the tech sector and housing
Edward Glaeser wrote a book that answers your question: Triumph of the City. Cities promote knowledge transfer and idea generation because of all the random interactions that happen among people. It's useful to be among people who are doing things like what you're doing. Cities offer great ways for cooperation and competition.
If you're doing routine tasks over and over again that can be done remotely maybe you don't need to live in a city. But the rest of us do, and the reasons make a lot of sense!
