Having problems with message search?
For example - FaceBook has 2 datacenters in the US - one in Cali and one in Virginia.
One is effective at serving the west coast and central US - the Virginia datacenter is more adept at serving traffic on the East Coast + Europe.
Chicago in theory is closer to center... so if you had to have one datacenter it would provide neutral latency on both coasts...

cheaper in IL (at least when I lived there).
In short, Cost of Living is cheaper in Chicago resulting in lower CTCs
vis a vis California.
On a related note: Austin, TX is cheaper in comparison to Chicago. For
the same reasons, states like Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota are
beginning to attract the Tech sector.
