I assume it's a simple matter of real-estate price. There's lots of empty land in the area, and we all know how expensive stuff has gotten towards downtown. Also, many of the stodgier/enterprise-y big tech companies are up north (Dell, HP, GM, Oracle, etc.) which I assume is at least partly due to proximity to the suburbs. Older employees probably care more about that than exploring.
