You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You think you're winning but you're treading water at best. On the MacLeod pyramid, you're hard-core Clueless. Put the Kool-Aid down! I'm willing to posit that the relative high rent prices has give our industry to greatest boost of all in town. What? That's money being wasted, not progress. Silicon Valley was built when the land was cheap. It's now expensive and still somewhat strong, but that's an artifact of former greatness. Even if people move quickly, the patterns that attract and repel talent are slower to move (decades) and the chickens haven't come home to roost yet. Trust me: the land price problem is very bad for San Francisco's future. This city is still the Gold Rush, always has been. You don't have to have landlords making you poor to want to be rich. This city is fueled by alcohol and general hedonism, which is fun! Dude, San Francisco hedonism's got nothing on New York or L.A. or Miami, and none of those cities are regarded as tech hubs. Just realize that we are the kings of this age of this city, and we are the last ones who would be at threat You realize that 25-year-old VCs with no discernible merit (but the family connections that got them there) are making more than you will at age 50, and that those VP/NTWTFKs (Non-Technical Who The Fuck Knows) are getting 0.75% equity slices to your 0.03%, right? You can't buy a house because of the real kings of that place and age: the VCs and those horrible executive implants that the VCs bring into your company (i.e. the VCs' underachieving friends who get positions in what you worked your ass off to build).
