I agree and it's been replaced by Austin and NYC. The valley refused to fix its problems, so the money is leaving. There's a limit to vandalism and "tech bros fuck off" that people will take, particularly when a huge chunk of "tech bros" are immigrants. You don't see the same animosity in NYC or Austin, so that's where the talent has gone.

> "tech bros fuck off" I'm on the younger end (20s-early 30s) in SF and I remember stuff like that as a kid (Genentech buses) but haven't seen such stuff in our Gen Z/Millenial bubble. Tbf we mostly live in Mission Bay, Marina, Nob Hill, Richmond, Sunset, Potrero Hill, Dogpatch, Duboce Triangle, etc and the kinds of people who'd say that seem to be "boomers" in the Mission+Potrero+Dogpatch who continue to insist on calling Cesar Chavez "Army St", think grunge and flannels are still hip, and don't have much love for TikTok, KWave, Anime, or Boba. If you love the former, then there definitely is a place for you in Austin, Denver, ATL, etc.

Attitude you are describing is confined to a small part of SF. SFBA is much larger and different. Copying my other comment here to share some facts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37917680 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37917680 In 2022, SFBA was still more than 2x the next biggest hub (NYC): https://dealroom.co/guides/usa https://dealroom.co/guides/usa EY report for Q1 2023 is even more drastic - https://www.ey.com/en_us/growth/venture-capital/q1-2023-vent https://www.ey.com/en_us/growth/venture-capital/q1-2023-vent.... SFBA has 25B+ investment while the second biggest (NYC) has 3.8B.
