So the people earning the other 90% do not count? I thought wealthier people doing whatever they want was a bad idea, but not if it's Googlers.

I didn't say that, but if you think the wealth Google provides those 200 doesn't benefit the remaining 16k then you're delusional.

The benefit is about prestige, not only about 200 families.

The primary benefit is 200 Google salaries stimulating the relatively small local economy.

The primary benefit for whom? And the secondary?

Do you think datacenter security and techs in a small town get paid the same as software engineers in Silicon Valley just because they work at Google?

Ahh the old trickle down fairytale
