What I don’t understand about the article is saying that SV is doomed because other areas are likely to be so huge is to ignore that there are already so many other areas of the economy even during SV’s growth. True FAANG grew at incredible rates over the past decade. It’s unclear that’ll slow down at all as software and computerization continues its current path. But all these biotech / green economy jobs it talks about will still run on software and microchips... in R&D, manufacturing, logistics, etc. Why can’t this be an AND versus an XOR? The article also implies there’s no biotech in SV - the Bay Area is home to many world leading biotech companies. Yes there are other gravitational pulls in SD, Boston, NJ (and I’m sure others internationally), but it’s not like that mix doesn’t exist here. And once the green economy starts really going, why wouldn’t there be places for new companies for follow in SV?
