Suburbs cannot compete with cities for fresh talent. Most businesses I know are opening city offices to Broaden their candidat pool. Its worth noting that sprawl legends like the Dc Metro area, San Fran and Boston lead the nation in job openings. Suburbs are demographically and geographically disadvantaged.

No doubt true, but surprising. I'd rather bag groceries somewhere else than be a programmer in Boston or DC.

Being a programmer in NYC, I love it and wouldn't trade living anywhere else at the moment. I guess to each their own.

I think I'd like living in NYC, actually.

Staten Island is the new Silicon Valley.
