You threw in a comment about vibe at the end and I agree with you but I think you are underselling it. I think vibe energizes to a very large degree (and is not a Bay area exclusive).
I lived in LA for fifteen years and there was always a sense in the air that your life could change with a chance meeting at a coffee shop. You always wanted to be prepared for that chance. While LA might be (still mostly but changing) about the entertainment industry the same I think can be said about all the large West Coast cities. Opportunity is around the corner. Entrepreneurship is in the air.
I have noticed that vibe in New Delhi, London, Barcelona, and the West Coast where I grew up. I distinctly did not feel it in Spain outside of Barcelona or in Paris. In New York there is a distinct energy but with so much going on there I cannot tell if it is entrepreneurial energy. Same with Tokyo. Where I reside in the Midwest I have to go to meetups to find something close to it but it isn't the same.
(There are so many more places I want to travel!)
Basically, when I am around that vibe I think it unleashes an extra level of creativity within me. That is why I visit as much as I can.
