Why would they do that? There's less available workforce (per square mile)
in the suburbs than in the city.

Real estate in a crowded city would be cost-prohibitive, even if
zoning could be aranged.

The cost of real estate you can pass on to your customers - but if there's
no (skilled) labor available you can't build your product.

Can you just imagine how much LESS competitive USA industry would be if it
had to locate production facilties in NYC? Banks can locate there because
they pay almost nothing on savings and can put the difference into big
buildings to show off their egos.

Yes, you can pass that cost on.
If it prices you out of competition, the land is a blight.
