The article subheading states:

  Airbnb needed an East Coast home.

Why particularly an east coast home vs. just another home? What's the strategic benefit of the east coast in particular?

Time zones are important if your teams rely on synchronous communication (slack, zoom, etc.). My org has gone "remote" but we still rely heavily on synchronous communication so we still prefer to hire people in the same time zone.

Time zones are also important if you are doing customer or client support.
