It doesn't need to be all or nothing... Portland, Denver, Boise and a bunch of other places are still cities while still able to provide some nice quality of life features over the likes of Seattle, San Francisco or New York City.
You can have a much shorter commute. Lower cost of living. And some really nice community aspects.
I've never understood why the likes of Facebook or other large tech companies wouldn't build infrastructure in the some of the smaller cities as opposed to already over-crowded and much more expensive cities.
Intel and Motorolla built out in Chandler, AZ which brought in a lot of technology companies and built the city to what it is today. It makes perfect sense for a large company to do the same someplace with a limited market where they can build out a community.
