You can't invent the next big thing in your garage when you can't afford a garage. Some of the things that made the valley( * ) a success are gone. I think the valley will live on, like it always has, but it will be different this time, just like each other time brought something different. The internet has now reached a stage where location matters less than ever. It is no longer necessary to amass engineers in one physical location. I think a lot of us would be more creative(albeit less focused and productive) if we were living on a piece of land with the time and extra money needed to play with the things we are good at. (*) The valley, not SF. The line is blurry but they are not the same.
