I wonder if Y/C will relocate? Y/C HQ2?
- ma2rten 8y agoMaybe they could get some tax incentives.
- wycs 8y agoIdeally a state without zoning laws or noncompetes. I can’t think of one.
- tehlike 8y agoaustin looks like a good candidate to me. not sure about noncompetes, though.
- burlesona 8y agoAustin rent has gone through the roof, and they’ve got a strong nimby and zoning problem just like SF so it’s just going to get worse. It’s on the exact same track, just ten or so years behind.
- onlyrealcuzzo 8y agoAustin doesn't have Prop 13, and Texas imposes reasonable property taxes. Unless those things change, it's HIGHLY unlikely real estate in Austin will approach The Bay area in terms of prices.
- tehlike 8y agoIt wont. you can also appeal assesments.
- xur17 8y agoAustin has noncompetes. Definite downside.
- S4M 8y agoThere are many places like you described, they are just not in the US.
- arunaugustine 8y agoIts better if they accept remote companies.
- alkibiades 8y agoaoc will drive them out
- dang 8y agoPlease don't do this here.
- spullara 8y agoThey just moved demo day.... To SF.
- glennon 8y agoYC HQ2 exists. It is the China program. https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-china-qi-lu/ https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-china-qi-lu/
