"They're saying, 'okay, if the infrastructure of the city is not going to be there, what's the quality of life for my employees going to be?' That's the reason the Chevrons of the world...
...their lives, the idea that on any given day you have the freedom to do this or that," explains Melissa Roth, author of On the Loose, a chronicle of a year in the life of three thirtysomething women.
