I'm not trying to say anything bad about Atlantans. I'm just saying that there are much fewer Asian-Americans and foreign-born people in Atlanta than in San Francisco, and that makes it hard to attract more to Atlanta. (And these groups are a signature of Silicon Valley.)
some census data from http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/13/1304000.html http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/13/1304000.html and http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06/0667000.html http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06/0667000.html :
Atlanta:
1.9% Asian
3.6% of companies are Asian-owned
6.6% foreign-born
San Francisco:
30.8% Asian
21.4% of companies are Asian-owned
36.8% foreign-born
