I think yours is a very selfish attitude. The people and the atmosphere in San Francisco and Silicon Valley are some of the biggest assets and they cannot be found in the same way in any other cities.
- beatpanda 11y agoI'm assuming "the people and the atmosphere" you're referring to are the people and the atmosphere that has completely displaced the social life of this part of the world that existed before it became a colony of billionaires playing monopoly. Many of us moved here seeking a different 'people and atmosphere' which, having been displaced, now only exists as a memory.

- beatpanda 11y agoThe only thing other places lack is startup capital, which isn't available in other places because people with said capital will only invest in companies willing to relocate to the Bay Area. If those investors would stop forcibly concentrating their entire investment portfolio here, there might be a chance at other places developing vibrant technology ecosystems.
