You will never become the next foo by trying to be the next foo. Instead you need to stand upon your unique merits. The "Silicon Valley of Bar" never works as anything but campaigning to gullible and giving benefits to existing businesses for no real public gain. Arguing for entitlement to runaway success based off of some misguided notion of equity is even worse (and by definition incoherent). Success being seen as a birthright is a fast way to stagnation and failure, demonstrated time and time again by fallen US industries like steel and automobiles. Success isn't guaranteed even with hard work and connections!
