my point was simply that the expensive part is housing, not the tuition itself. if you go to a community college to get all your core classes out of the way, you can get yourself a degree with a little more than $10k in tuition at a decent school. the problem is, during this time period, if you have to pay for an apartment, you end up having to pay en extra 30k almost on housing. your $10k bill is now $40k. this is not the problem of the schools or the education system, this is a problem of the cost of housing.

i would assume cost is a huge factor. sub urban areas are much cheaper than in-city areas... especially for super large buildings like google HQ. it is probably much cheaper(and safer) to bus people from the city to the HQ than it is to have the HQ located in the city. if cities want people to start locating huge corporations inside the city, they will need to offer the things the companies are looking for: security, price, space, safety, and position. for the most part, cities cannot offer any of these, whereas suburbs can offer all of them.
