it's simple.
The employees are a self-selected population for the area.
The employees that work for a company have already decided that is where they want to live and work.
They could just open an additional office in a more "reasonable" place, say somewhere with lower taxes, lower cost of living, shitty weather and fewer qualified employees...
Also, I've often wondered if locating a company in somewhere with a nosebleed cost of living like SF is a way to exclude employees that are not young, single and/or without families to distract them. SF is great for single people.
