Tech Workers Take to the Mountains, Bringing Silicon Valley with Them
I wonder when the reverse will happen. As rents in SF dive, will people that were force to outlying parts of the Bay Area return? Will younger LGBT folk be able to afford to live in&#x2F;near the Castro? Will more people _not_ in tech be able to live here?<p>SF has felt like such a one-industry town for quite a while, and that can mute some of the richness and diversity that normally makes cities interesting (and perhaps more broadly valuable?).
If some tech workers are happier in the mountains, that&#x27;s great that they can now live that life and keep their jobs. But I hope that in their places, we see a new diversity of people of range of jobs who can choose to live in a city that was previously out of reach.
