I agree with you, that it can help to have things spread apart. But, the competition for talent isn't nearly as high as people say it is. I still see companies trying to set up shop in SF and palo alto. VCs still prefer having companies in SV, even if it means double the labor cost. There's a slow migration of a few companies setting up satelite shops outside of the bay area, but it's not a mass migration. So even with this crazy housing situation, there still seems to be more than enough talent to hire up in the bay area.
- jbpetersen 10y agoI'm really hoping to see a clear winner emerge among places that aren't SF/SV as somewhere to migrate to without having to worry much about being left out of the loop. I don't know yet of any places that have the necessary combination of both favorable policies for tech and sufficient differences from SF/SV in order for another focal point to form. P.S. I really do hope the idea of a YC city ends up being executed on in the near future.
