Where I work, we hold live meetings with people in North America and India. We share the same software code, etc.

In some cases yes. The reason I can come up with is that certain goegraphic areas specialize in economic sectors (for a few loose examples, New York=financial, San Jose=computers, etc.) Within these geographical ares, realestate runs scarce and the ability to build "out" diminishes. The only option left is to build "up".
Not to mention the income potential for a developer to collect money on a square footage basis. The building has a foot print no matter how tall. The taller the building the more floors of square footage.

Skyscrapers have more to do with the dollar value per square foot of the land under them than with any telecommuting technology. Urban real estate has a value far in excess of any software programs, and probably some of the real estate in downtown Manhattan in the Wall street area has a greater value than all the software in the world ever written all combined.

Maybe one day you will never have to see another human ever, except on a television screen. That will be a sad but very possible day.
