Ford Edison and Firestone came together in Detroit because that was where Ford was from and Ford built his Model T factory in what was then an unincorporated area outside the city of Detroit.

And yea, I'm just dying here in my suburban. God save me.
I didn't say that. But you implied that EVERYONE works at Apple and Google. Just like you assume that EVERYONE wants [[or should want) to live in Suburbia. San Francisco may have sprawl [[as does every city in the United States), but it has a viable city remaining at its core. The housing values attest to the demand to live in such a place.

If you're happy, that's terrific. But to tell everyone else that they're wrong, because it's not congruent with your personal experience? That's just a little bit naive.
