Not surprising at all, since it's one of the best places (if not THE best place) to enjoy the unlimited money that's part of the premise of the question.
It's like if you polled people if they'd like to have a Lamborghini (if money were no object), and 99% say yes, while in reality Lamborghini is getting totally destroyed by Ferrari in that market segment (fictional example, but perfectly realistic), because if you limited your polling to actual supercar buyers, you'd find that they'd nearly all say Ferrari is much better.
The only thing money can't change / can't buy is weather, so in any "money is no object" poll, people will generally want their ideal dream house and ideal dream lifestyle -- which is something that can be bought literally anywhere, under the assumption of unlimited money -- also located where the weather is as close as possible to ideal, because, well, why not?!? Imagine the following deal: you'll be given unlimited money, but the "catch" is that you have to live in, say, the St. Louis metro area (I picked the city randomly); you have to have your fiscal primary residence there and spend at least 6 months per year there. Extremely few people would say no to that.
Edit -- one other thing "money can't buy" is very urban bones, so other possible logical answers would be places like Manhattan or central Paris.
