In 2001 I built a data center in Reno thinking it was inevitably going to see an economic boom. Well, to be more specific, I purchased a half-completed data center abandoned by Adelphia after they went bust and completed it. Long story short, I lost my shirt and sold it two years later. I've lived in Reno on-and-off ever since, including a three year stint in the Bay Area startup scene. I'm still waiting for that economic boom. I've also lived in the Sacramento area and seen similar economic issues to Reno, only on a larger scale. If Sacramento can't make the proximity to the Bay Area work -- there's little hope for Reno. Hope I'm wrong about that.
