> What's the advantage? More affordability for the people in those groups, and thus less separation of tech people from members of other sectors and socio-economic levels. It's good to have enough people concentrated in one region to form great teams and give people options and mobility. But, beyond that, it starts becoming a negative to tech people and non-tech people. SF and Seattle are insanely expensive. Most of my friends here in Seattle are in tech, and over the past few years, I've watched most of my non-tech friends get priced out and be forced to leave the area. I don't think it's good for individuals or humanity as a whole for people to spend all of their time in a bubble surrounded only by people like themselves.
