Lots of people just don't want to live outside New York City. I presume a lot of tech companies know this and have development offices there, for that reason, without need for some kind of bribe-taking. Another option is to let people work from home with your office located in a cheaper location. But this impairs teamwork.
On the other hand, Google is asking Toronto for a cut of the tax revenue generated by Google's surveillance city project
