I don't think outsourcing is the big problem, because at the heart of it, you still have to have clear communication.

I think the biggest advantage of living in the Valley would be the ability to meet other people and establish connections. A worker should be paid mostly for the value that they provide to their company, not necessarily just their cost of living.

I don't think that anyone wants to undercut someone else in the industry. That's just a bad practice that hurts everyone in the end.
