I'm not sure what to make of the Giants being considered a great team, but it's probably not a discussion for here.
I kind of want to plug Austin, though, as the third tech hub. There have already been some successful companies come out of Austin and Capital Factory is trying to build a YC of Austin of sorts. With Austin being a top-5 fastest growing US city over the last 10 years[1], plus the awesome climate, relatively reasonable cost of living and UT's engineering program, I think the pieces are in place for some exciting stuff to happen here.

- jedberg 15y agoThe problem with Austin though is that once a company gets successful, it moves to Silicon Valley, destroying any sense of community Austin might be building. Austin is a great city -- they need to figure out how to get successful people to stay there.
- _delirium 15y agoI agree with all that except "awesome climate". I guess it's subjective, but average highs above 90 for four months out of the year is the #1 thing I don't miss about living in Texas! But, it'd be great to live there Oct-May.
