I'm sure that Apple has a wonderful corporate HQ campus and has no intention of leaving Cupertino, CA. but when they decided to expand domestically they were the biggest pimp around; if you weren't interested in prostituting yourself you weren't in their sights. They used Arizona (for example) as leverage to get the best deal out of Texas/Austin. They later threw a bone to Arizona who was still anxious to prostitute themselves.
Denver has traditionally been quite affordable in the big scheme of things. Now, not so much. I may not be tea party friendly but if you're aware of the trends there are reasons why the Sunbelt cities are winning most of the big ones. Of course many companies want to be in the east since that's where the largest population is.
If you are a company looking to expand, the site selection business has become very sophisticated. Cost analysis is a primary consideration in the decision making process.
