Why? Do companies down there (the cities) actually think they will get 
better results if they hire someone less than X miles from their shop? 
How many of you telecommute in your job (especially if you do web 
development)? Even up here in the woods (~4 north of you), we do a lot 
through email, phone (and occasionally) web cam. I can't be lead to 
believe that our small communities are more technologically advanced 
than web development companies down there.

I've always thought that web development was the perfect business to do 
from afar. Sure, you may need to meet sometimes in person, but most 
things can be done through other means.

Is this "need to be local" thing specific to the cities area, or do you 
find this to be true across the US/World?
