Texas seems intent on grabbing all the deadwood valley companies. What's next ? I predict Cisco. Meanwhile, SF just had two IPOs worth $200bn

How does labor law impact anything when everyone is WFH ? Also, do taxes really have anything to do with your HQ location ? All corporations are registered in Delaware.

What does this mean ? What does a HQ mean when people are permanent WFH ?

Weird thing for him to complaint about "regulations", considering said regulations helped kick start the electric car industry and saved his car company. The 7.5k fed credit, the 2500 CA tax credit, mandated charging stations, sol

California budgets from mid year. So 2020-2021 and that is projected to have a $26b surplus. There is projected deficits beyond that, but not sure anyone can say for certainty how fast the economy will recover

The parent poster was making a broader point about "diversity". Unless they consider "Indians" as not diverse, that broader point doesn't stand either. Bay Area has many many towns with Asian majority - San Jose, Fr

Pension liabilities are just a right wing talking point, which shifted from "budget deficits" when California started running huge surpluses and rainy day budgets

California has been running budget surpluses for many years. And will run a surplus again this year, despite the pandemic

You do not see brown people ? Have you, I don't know, been to any tech company ? where vast majorities of engineering groups are brown people ?

I don't why this is news. Wealthy people move to low tax places all the time.

I agree with San Mateo County's stance. I am in Contra Costa and we joined the other counties to shut down at 30% ICU capacity. I don't think there is any merit to shutting down outdoor dining. I haven't seen any study showin

I have tried AT&T Fiber twice and the experience have been underwhelming both times. Intermittent outages and dead connection on a frequent basis. Unfortunately, I switched to Comcast 1GB connection and it has been miles better than AT&

I have a 2500 sq ft house in a 10 rated school district, 16 miles from SF, that I purchased this year for 1.4mn. Here's another similar example: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Lafayette/3399-Angelo-St-94549/ho

There have been endless articles about Bay Area "exodus", yet I see suburban housing demand going through the roof. Many companies haven't committed to full WFH (Google, Uber, Airbnb, Doordash, Tesla comes to mind). I will wa

San Francisco is the second densest city in America. San Francisco has the lowest COVID transmission rates of any city, with recently a positive test rate under 1%. Masks matter.

This is such a terrible idea. Ensures only people on H1 are techies in FAANG in the Bay Area. Forget about doctors and nurses in rural areas

I actually thought about getting a place in Tahoe for 6 months, but turns out it is completely not workable for me - I don't know anyone in Tahoe - My 5 year old will have no friends - Schools will soon start in person schooling - I wo

Can’t think of a single unicorn that came out of these cities over the last 10 years, forget the Facebooks, Googles, Tesla’s, Ubers, Airbnb’s, Slacks, Snowflakes, and Zooms of the worlds. I have lived in Phoenix and Vegas for many years. Ex

California refugees is a weird point to make (I know you are trying to make a political point here). But in my 13 years of living here, I have met only a handful of “native” Californians. Everyone is from somewhere else. And that’s what mak

There is no evidence of exodus to other cities. There is exodus to suburban Bay Area where you can still commute 2-3 days a week and buy a 3k sq ft home. Bay Area real estate is no fire now with median price over $1mn and up 20% over last y

How is it absurd ? It is in a nice neighborhood, close to the water, walkable to the Golden Gate bridge, and sits next to a massive national park.

It is incredibly courageous for Cruise to test this in SF. Perhaps the less crowded streets in SF is a good opportunity, but there are some tough street intersections to navigate. One example is the Townsend and 8th street roundabout near t
