McKinsey & Company report on Greater Washington economic development
“In reviewing the various options for our global headquarters, we were mindful of the cost of living and quality of life for our team members. The cost of living in the DC area is significantly lower than the Los Angeles area.
Many of our team members will benefit from shorter commutes, better public schools and more affordable housing. Also, the Washington, DC area consistently ranks as one of the best places to live.”
