- lazaroclapp 10y agoPretty much nobody looks up to the Bay Area for architecture... Online retailers on the other hand are pretty much weather independent. Also, usually not based in the Bay Area at all. The big two "primarily e-commerce" businesses are based on Seattle and Hangzhou, respectively. And I guess eBay is technically San Jose... but that's likely a very distant third.
