My grand parent bought their house in Saratoga, California in 1959 for 24,000.
They sold it in ~1999 for ~2.5 million
The area was all apple apricot and orange orchards.
Gramps wasa nuclear engineer building bombs for General Elecrtic (one of the designers of Hanford -- manahattan shit)
Silicon valley was built - literally upon the design of the IC - out of the founders of Intel from Fairchild (sunnyvale) (When I work at intl, andy grove and I had the same pee schedule (my cube was right next to his, and for some reason the only place we intereacted was the restroom, when we peed)
Anyway - I have seen silicon valley evolve from orchards to chips... I've been here the whole time. Detroit can do it too.
