Twenty years ago any executive’s primary concern, when choosing an area in which to relocate corporate headquarters was the cost of land. Today, the primary concerns of an executive planning a relocation are broader and often include the quality both of local schools and of housing.
If the information above is correct, which of the following best explains the change in executives’ concerns as it is described?
Twenty years ago good-quality schools and housing were as hard to find as they are today. Local real estate and school taxes have ceased to rise in certain regions and now allow many people to purchase homes.

A recent shortage of employees has forced corpo- rations to find as many ways as possible to attract new employees. The cost of land has changed less in some areas than in others over the past twenty years.
