I grew up in Detroit. In college I worked in a General Motors factory. Now I live in Silicon Valley and work in the software in industry. There is just no comparison between the two regions. That GM factory defined dysfunction. Drugs and alcohol on the factory floor. Distrust. Theft. Sabotage. Vandalism. Hookers. I've never seen anything like that in Silicon Valley. I don't think the workforce could be more dedicated, and Silicon Valley people are generally enthusiastic about inventing the next thing. So IMHO that writer just doesn't know what he's talking about. Other regions have their strengths, for sure. But Silicon Valley isn't going away.
