If you look at the migration patterns of people in NorCal it’s really not. Hell, just ask the locals - it’s a damn cliche in Austin or Portland that ppl moved in from NorCal to there. Also if you look at the businesses, networking, and where the VC money comes from, the SV connection is clear. Flight from the Bay Area has absolutely powered a lot of growth in those places. They were cool places in the first place of course, but that is why they were attractive to move to.
