I mean Silicon Valley has never been about skating where the puck is, but skating where the puck is going to be. Trying to be "the next" Silicon Valley is always going to fail, because it's fundamentally trying to clone something else in a context that can't work. The failure to create a legal framework where labor has extreme liquidity is just one example of politicians failing to understand how a place like SV can come to exist. Yea we live in a bit of a bubble in the Bay Area, but frankly having lived and worked outside it bit - I find the lack of insight that everyone has into the bubble is why they will never succeed at copying it. The attitudes too sour, ambitions too small, and people too anxious to take any risks.
