> Reminds me of the repeated hurricanes that drive people out of coastal areas.

People still live in coastal areas, and rich people continue to build lavish vacation homes on the coast despite the fact that they're washed away by storms every couple of decades. Part of being rich is not having to worry about money, which is why many rich people live in cities, states and countries that tax them more: the benefits of doing so outweigh the costs. I think you can draw parallels between that and companies choosing to remain in cities for similar reasons despite some drawbacks existing.

Sorry you focused on my comment about coasts. I was really just trying to point out that another pandemic can happen and can happen soon.

I didn't focus on it because I agree with you.
