Can't you hop on the Baltimore craigslist and find your $150 XP machine and your 17" monitor? Do these things cost much less in Silicon Valley? I don't see how

Can't you hop on the Baltimore craigslist and find your $150 XP machine and your 17" monitor? Do these things cost much less in Silicon Valley? I don't see how anything in your last paragraph ties specifically into the Valley. Tapping into a digital economy != Silicon Valley. Would Tumblr have looked different in SV?
- adventured 13y agoBaltimore doesn't have the economic / educational / social structures in place that Silicon Valley has consciously incubated. There is no Stanford of Baltimore; there is no Y Combinator of Baltimore; there is no massive talent pool in Baltimore for tech. Not to mention Baltimore is extraordinarily dangerous, with their crime rate and murder rate being through the roof. Who said Silicon Valley was the only place you can create a tech company? New York has nearly all the structures you could ever possibly ask for to do so. Baltimore does not however, nor does Detroit.
