Tom,
There are a couple of reasons why I prefer that people live here.
1) As an employer, I'd like to know that my employees *like* living in Los Angeles. Statistics show that a fair number of people move to California and are gone within one year, so I'm trying to appeal to those that are already settled here, enjoy it and plan on staying here.
2) If a person were to move to Los Angeles from some other city to pursue a job opportunity, and if the job were not to work out, it could be very tough for all involved. I'd feel very badly knowing that someone relocated their life on my account if it didn't work out. This adds a complexity that I'd rather not be faced with.
3) There are many people who decide their employment futures and move accordingly *without* the safety net of having a job lined up. I respect this type of "do or die" enthusiasm and dedication. I did this when I was in my 20's, and I'm glad I did. It's one thing to wait until a job opportunity comes up, but it's another to make the commitment to move to another city and then hit the streets in search of a job.
I hope that helps to explain my position on that.
