    They’re engineers. They’re going to be well-compensated. They can afford to live anywhere. That’s why they live or want to live in Long Beach, and why Ford is going there to attract them. You act like no one lives in Long Beach.

        Not all engineers are the same. If you’re the kind of “top talent” that Ford is trying to recruit, you’re probably well-compensated and can live wherever you want.
