Finally a truthful comment. Everybody goes there to make money, that's it. There's nothing wrong with that, so why do people still try to pretend that isn't the reason when out of view of their employers?

Most working professionals live where they do for one of two reasons:

1.) Family/spouse

2.) Where they can get the best-paying job

If you offer most people 50% more money, and they aren't tied down by family obligations, they'll skip town for that new job in a heartbeat.

This is the difference between the SF of today and the SF of 10 years ago
