State Tax Policy (from the Fidelity Thread)

Re: Fidelity's HQ may go high

That's a chicken or egg argument. Plenty of talent in the boondocks in other states where some of these backoffice operations are set up. I've worked for a lot of large companies and been to some pretty isolated spots, and I would take the Rt2 or Amherst/Northampton/Springfield corridors over them. Not all talent are hipsters who need to live in the coolest of places.

Do you disprove your own argument? Backoffice to me says accountants and property management and phone support and other stuff. Talent to me says R&D. And wouldn't those people want to be in a thriving community where they have peers and colleagues from other places to engage with?
