Not necessarily bullish on SF and california in general, but the bull case is:
California has GREAT weather and natural beauty. Frisco has the best west coast port and should continue which will allow it to capitalize on continued east asian growth.
The midwest is pretty awful from November to April (especially the lack of sunshine).
- ghaff 6y agoThat's fair with the caveat that a lot of people don't really get to choose where they live based on climate and recreational opportunities--at least if they want to get paid at or near peak earnings potential. But I generally agree that, even if opportunities decrease in the Bay Area for tech workers, they'll probably remain decent for the foreseeable future even if they crash down to the level of other "tech" cities.
- cvhashim 6y ago> The midwest is pretty awful from November to April (especially the lack of sunshine). We get plenty of sunshine in the winter months. Not as bad as the Pacific Northwest where the sun can stay hidden for weeks. But alongside that sunshine you get, it’s still bitter cold.
