True. There is a reason why I don't study in Berlin, Tübingen, Heidelberg, or other slightly expensive German cities. There is a reason why I didn't do my US exchange year in Long Beach, CA. There is a reason I might not move to Paris. That reason is cost and relative gains or value for me. The beauty especially about CS is that you can at least in theory work from anywhere. Somewhere I read that more and more entrepreneurs are setting up their businesses in rural areas in the Midwest and Southern States, because it's vastly cheaper than CA.

In other places, say, Sidney, moving might make your way to work longer. But even if people don't find a job in a cheaper area, they can always choose to drive a bit longer and save on rent. Actually, the company might consider moving to where it can attract more workers. An expensive area isn't really the best place to look for workers in the sub $50/h segment.
