Good weather and recreation. Also, the whole gateway to Latin America thing. Orlando might have the best flight connectivity of anywhere in the USA; that's a big reason why all the PGA players live there.

Even if they don't have ocean views, the SF Bay Area offers excellent beaches, skiing, biking, hiking, sailing, surfing, golf, parks, etc. -- all within ~3 hours' drive and for a good portion of the year. The weather and geography are such an important factors.
