You know what ?
Sometimes it can't be about the money, sometimes it's about what you can do for the community and the city you choose to have a business in, and the quality of living there. Why do most startups are located there and in cities nearby ?
I'm pretty sure Twitter wouldn't be twitter if they weren't in SF.
And this is what's scares me about this whole "bubble 2.0" thing. People (investors) are getting too greedy, they rather move an entire company, including reallocation of it's employees than to pay a fraction of their $xxB evaluation.
I don't give a damn about the investors, they knew where this companies was located. If they aren't informed before their investment, this just shows how much they know about their own country and cities.
Besides, you have no idea how much tax europeans startups have to pay, If there was a place like SF in Europe, I would be moving there tomorrow morning.
And finally, we are talking about Twitter. Have they finally got a way of making any real money ? Or this company based only on paper money ?
