Silicon Valley offices less empty than other regions

It's a generalization but I'm not sure it's really unfair.

I'm pretty sure that most people moving to SV/SF or most high cost areas really do so because they (or their partner) got a good job offer there, and especially in the case of tech and northern California, because there's a high density of other job possibilities as well.

People do just decide they want to move someplace but I doubt a lot choose the Bay area unless there's a job offer attached.

The Bay Area offers great weather and nature. More people would live here if it weren’t so expensive.

And more people (probably different people) would live in Manhattan if it weren't so expensive. But they are expensive so people tend not to move to them absent a well-paying job.
