My question is, why would I ever want to be resident in any of those places? Never in my life have I ever considered living there. I barely tolerated San Jose for 9 months before I moved to Santa Clara.

There are plenty of reasons to live outside megacities, taxes are way down on the list.

If you're a huge multinational, megacities have a lot of advantages.
