I'm in San Diego and have visited SF many times on business and pleasure. I used to think I would want to live in the City and retire in the Bay area. Today, I'm not so sure. It's just too crazy. Driving from my friend's studio 3rd floor walk-up near AT&T Park to Mountain View convinced me that drive is crazy. I could get anywhere in San Diego in the time it took me to make that commute. And the article didn't seem to mention this, but a lot of these SV companies are in office parks. Google, Apple, office parks with flair (and I use flair in the Office Space sense of the word). The future is falling from the sky like rain, but like rain, a lot of it is lost down the drain. Also, Google is opening a pretty good-sized building in San Diego, just down the street from Green Flash. Also, I'm on the Navy side of government tech transfer. I have to say, the government gives developers a pretty sweet deal on their IP rights. Actually, y'all just go up to SF. Please. Enjoy it. I'll slum it down here. I'll visit you.
