Very NIMBY of you. They just have to be not in my back yard and go away somewhere else. "No more immigrants in mountain view!"

As far as expand elsewhere goes, google has many staff in many countries and cities all over the world.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. If you'll scroll to the top of the comments on this page, you'll see where I stated the case that NIMBYism is the problem with housing there, and specifically that Mountain View's resistance to denser housing is part of it. I also think that Google and other large companies can expand elsewhere to alleviate some of the housing pressure, as Amazon has already started doing. Google has offices everywhere, but they are tiny compared to HQ.

That's not at all what he said. He was talking about the company confronting high cost of living near their headquarters.
