> don't tout that your state is an engine of economic growth when the companies you mention decide to "offshore" major chunks of their operations You're clearly implying here that Californian companies are placing datacenters outside California because of state policies, which is simply incorrect. While it makes sense to put one datacenter somewhere in the vicinity of California, datacenters should be geographically distributed. It's also common to place datacenters near rivers for cheap cooling, but good sites are relatively rare. Now consider competitive bidding from cities, cheap power, and wanting to locate datacenters near users. Basically, state policies have a relatively small impact.
