Tech elites leaving San Francisco threaten Silicon Valley's supremacy
Nobody really brings up that the bay area is one of few places in the US where you can live without a car. Really, even compared to other "walkable" cities beyond a select few, similarly expensive places.<p>Nobody really brings up that the bay area has better LGBT and other minority protections than anywhere in the US, either. Every time someone mentions cheap midwest cities I have to pull up <a href="https://crossingenres.com/out-in-the-united-states-where-can-i-live-f44954bf06b2" rel="nofollow">https://crossingenres.com/out-in-the-united-states-where-can...</a> and see if anything's changed since I last checked.<p>Nobody really brings up the general art and culture scene in SF and Oakland. Or access to extremely high quality produce and food.<p>Generally nobody brings up the possibility that some people _want to be here_ outside of their jobs. It's weird.<p>I guess most of those that want to be here don't really comment on articles like this.
