Money makes the world go round. Where there is money flowing thru the system there is life and opportunity. And it's not the absolute amount of money or net worth of the place, though that is correlated, but the rate of flow of that money within the larger ecosystem. In most countries and places outside of SF/SV, rich people sit tight on their money, and don't take risks. In this way, they are conservative, and risk averse, and as a result the ecosystem is weak. People here in SF/SV are risk takers and that benefits everyone. We're more optimistic, or dangerously optimistic sometimes but that's why we lead the world in terms of innovation and opportunity.
