Facebook and Google are mapping big expansions in Chicago, where real estate searches by two of the nation's other technology giants have been the center of attention.
Menlo Park, Calif.-based Facebook is negotiating to lease more than 200,000 square feet in a recently constructed office tower at 151 N. Franklin St. in the Loop, according to sources.
Meanwhile, sources said, Google plans to add more than 100,000 square feet of office space in the city's Fulton Market district, where the company already has a large Midwest headquarters.
The new Facebook space alone would be large enough to accommodate more than 1,000 employees.

Funny thing. My son lives in Chicago. Downtown. He has a dog. And a baby. He's not living a life of "grinding poverty". Of course, he has a (very) decent job. I guess anecdotes don't prove anything.
That is all.

Oh don't get me wrong, its a nice place to live if you're rich or lucky, its just most people would be richer or luckier everywhere else for a couple thousand miles in every direction.
