I don't think this has anything to do with diversity, and I don't know of any way this could be measured, but I'd love to see the difference in the level of passion for the average engineer hired in SF vs ATL. I moved across the country to SF to work in tech because this is perceived to be the land of opportunity for tech. I'd imagine a lot of people passionate about what they do come here, and if you're less passionate you may be less willing to do that move. But that's total speculation, and I don't think diversity has anything to do with that. Just something your comment made me think of.
