My few examples were not meant to be sorted nor exhaustive. They were meant to illustrate the fact that places that offer a lot of tech jobs tend to be high-density cities, rather than a collection of comparatively lower-density areas like Silicon Valley. The places you mention all seem to be high-density cities as well. Maybe I shouldn't have written "extremely dense" then, I guess Austin isn't that dense compared to NYC—but still much denser than Silicon Valley surely?
- rpedela 11y agoThe bay area is quite dense. SF, Oakland, San Jose combined come close to the population of Chicago. Austin and Denver are much less dense than the bay area.
- pilom 11y agoDenver is only recorded as "not dense" because the city technically includes all the land around the airport where there is very little built. If you don't include the airport property the density is pretty close to San Jose.
- rpedela 11y agoIf we are discussing tech hubs, then the surrounding area should be included such as Boulder, Broomfield, etc. Just like we should include Mountain View, Palo Alto, etc. Having lived in both places for ~4 years each, the density in the Denver area is not even close to the bay area.
