You don't think Google moving to KC would have a huge effect on property prices?
Not to mention, if they close down, you'll likely have a harder time finding another job than you would somewhere with a lot of tech places.
- Apocryphon 9y agoI think the hope of such a move (ditto Amazon building HQ2 somewhere outside of the usual SF/ATX/NYC tech hubs) is that if one giant did it, other companies would follow, tech workers who leave the giant go and build startups, wealth and talent attract VCs, etc. The hub self-reinforces itself, much like how SF and Seattle have done it. It would be a very interesting economic experiment to see if a cycle can be created in new areas.
