Startups are not a bag of marbles that you want to spread out in a way everyone gets one. They are businesses driven by people with objectives, financial or otherwise. For better or worse, San Francisco attracts talent in a way the mid-west doesnt. By not cleaning up its act,its turning away people that would otherwise go there. California loses, so California has a huge incentive to change things for that. The mid-west can do their own policies to compete for the interests of businesses and people.
