This needs to be reinforced. Go look at Fortune's list of the world's most valuable companies. Those that are American are all located with a one-hour drive.

I live near a ton of Apple executives. They have moved here from all over the world. Simply put, if you want to work at (for example) Apple and have a significant position in the company, you must be here. Must.

Fortune Top 10 - Walart, AK / Exxon, TX / Apple, Cupertino CA / Berkshire Hathaway, NE / McKesson, SF CA / United Health Care, MN / CVS Health, RI / General Motors, MI / Ford, MI / AT&T, TX.

Only two in CA, the rest are scattered over the US. But if you had to pick another place to live, looks like Detroit would be a good choice.
