Er... In Southern California they built up the Inland Empire, Riverside and San Bernardino all the way out into the deserts. Now, few can afford to live there, due to the expensive commutes into Orange County and LA as so expensive. Not to mention the traffic.

Perhaps jobs will come to them. Why is it necessary for information workers to physically commute long distances to central cities?

Why? Harbors, skyscrapers that cost billions to erect, that employ millions, major existing corporations, etc. They might eek out a living in retail way inland, but all the big pay jobs for the most part are in OC and LA. Just the way it is.

But I agree, all who commute to sit at a key board all day, should be doing that from home, saving billions of gallons of gas a year, not to mention millions of man hours wasted commuting. Why this hasn't happen on a large scale is obscene.
