I believe the need for a global headquarters is more about the CEO’s ego than an actual need of the company. With digital communications there’s hardly even a need for many employees to leave their homes. Think of how much money would be saved if companies did away with the status building downtown in some nice, but hard to commute to and expensive to live in city.
That aside, what they’re telling me is that their socialism instincts are not where I want to invest my money.
Actually, Dallas and the metro area is not really that expensive, especially with it being the fourth-largest MSA in the country and about to overtake Chicago as the third-largest.
but then how could politicians create cities which are an excellent source of graft?
How could they control the movement of people?
