There is a solution:

Companies can leave the large cities and establish themselves in 
less-dense areas, where they can use small airports to get to other 
destinations. There is really no good reason for a company to set up in 
large urban areas.

Big cities are becoming obsolete, due to their success, which now makes 
them less desirable to live in.
