Terrible analysis, hand waving, no evidence given. The author has lived in SF for years and years. "More money is raised in SF!" At one point the richest city in the US was Detroit. The innovation hub was the cities around Lake Erie: Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh. Times change, SF well on it's way to being irrelevant. Besides, who cares how much money in total is invested in this county or that county. What is the probability of investment in your company is the question that should be asked. What talent can your company recruit (and afford) in this location or that location? The author lives in SF. They feel like people at the company they run aren't 'getting enough done' and their solution is to force everyone to move to SF, where they happen to already live, rather than learn to lead a team and have some way to understand what people are doing and how long it is taking them to do it. This is the kind of founder who's first hire is a junior engineer and second hire is a PM, and then they wonder why nothing gets done. I wish I could short this company. Love the extensive quoting of Mark Andreessen about why it's so important to be in Silicon Valley in 2007. What was important in tech 16 years ago is no more relevant now than Windows 3.0 (launched in 1990, 16 years prior to the blog post) was to Mark Andreessen in 2007 when he wrote that blog post. Doing little blog research projects is a way better use of a CEO's time than, say, figuring out how you are failing to do your job and as a result employees aren't productive.
