I live in the Midwest and would be happy to continue living here. Pittsburgh would in many ways be ideal. But if start-ups flock to Pittsburgh and start engaging in cargo-cult replication of the idiotic open-plan madness of SV, poor wages relative to cost of living, poor employment culture that places importance on inane things like how much alcohol you consume, then count me out. I frankly don't understand why a region would want to become like Silicon Valley. Don't get me wrong. I understand why unrealistic founders would want it and I understand why exploitative VC firms might want it. But why would employees or residents want it? It will only accelerate wealth concentration, establish monoculture, lead to absurd corporate corruption, gentrification issues, and on and on. Quick, Pittsburgh. Stop this before your local politicians have completely sold you out!
