https://www.geekwire.com/2017/redfins-glenn-kelman-predicts-mass-tech-exodus-coastal-cities/ Google hires more ppl outside of silicon valley than they inside of sv due to high real estate costs in the bay area. This guy predicts not many companies will remain here. Are you guys willing to relocate somewhere else? Cause I cant survive with Intel Salary in the bay area anymore. Im gtfo starting from 2018 to Seattle
Define major player. I would say dozens of major players have shown up somewhere different over the last few decades.
Amazon HQ2 could be that major player.
I wonder if some of these people head to the Boston area. Taxes and housing are much lower than California but it still has a vibrant tech scene and economy.
Boston cold as fuck. 5F today, -5 F tomorrow
And unlike Seattle, it snows like a mofo in Boston.
We need HQ2! Sooner the better!
Utah is growing at a crazy rapid rate. Lots of unicorns and big players like adobe
Err which unicorns in Utah? I’ve only heard of Qualtrics
i think it has overstock.com
When did we start to define “coast cities” as only NY, LA, SF, Boston? Seems odd that he was defining a mass migration away from coastal cities to... Seattle, Portland, Florida, Houston?
Yeah, Austin is about the only truly non-coast city I see as a currently burgeoning tech hub.
Denver is working on it.
Carolinas are seeing a lot of growth as well... Cheap power, cheap cost of living and real estate, good tax breaks for corps creating jobs, etc... FB, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Cisco, NetApp, DellEMC, lots of biotechnology and research firms and Amazon all have a presence. Not a bad place to have a tech career outside of the West coast and SV, or Texas and Boston.. Major Florida Cities and Atlanta are also decent SE USA tech markets.
I’m from NC and all the driving is something I don’t miss. Everything seems to be at least 10 Miles from where you are and very little public transit infrastructure. The education/tech centers are great but somehow the regressive social politics in the state is so off putting because unlike Washington they still have lopsided amounts of political power in the state. Plus income and sales tax. Weather ain’t bad you get real seasons, with relatively mild winters but pretty hot and humid summers. I’m really torn about moving back even though family is there.
Not white. Not moving there. 🤔😜
Amazing that tech companies pay high wages for people, we are the smart ones, but not smart enough to fix this broken system, more homeless, less affordable housing (purchase or rent), people are displaced, the companies that are causing this problem are the companies we want to work or we working, but is not our fault we say, we are just a tiny piece of the system causing this problem, we are lucky compare to the rest of the population (I’m talking about the world), hot shower, hot food, a roof are not enough, we want more and more, new iPhone, new crap, when a tech company opens a office in x place we see the same pattern: wages, rent and cost of living rise, I saw medium/small business in Bay Area and Seattle closing because: “they can not afford to pay the rent”, we are going to be 8 billion humans soon, but we don’t care, the rat race is real and we are part of the problem.
Suggestion: quit your job and fix the world.
I recommend to understand the problem, one person is not going to fix it
I would like to relocate somewhere with ca weather and ocean but no tax and dumb people. No such place exists
TJ!
Depending on what you mean by “dumb” (e.g. if it’s a shortsighted euphemism for liberal), Houston may be good.
This is a pretty stupid article which lacks any real substance.
