I think of it like this:

L.A. = High school for adults

New York = College for adults

Silicon Valley = Middle school for adults

That's not meant as pure criticism, I actually kind of like it, but it just gets annoying at times.



Boston = Grad school for adults. ;-)

Also, if Silicon Valley were middle school for adults, there'd be more girls here.


Austin = Smoking behind the bleachers for adults?


All right, all right, all right.


i would actually like the analogy continued.. i'm mobile and i find it to be informative about various US cities.


It didn't seem so at first, but I think there is something insightful about Alex's and your characterisations of these cities (disclosure: I currently live in Cambridge, MA).


LA more mature than Silicon Valley!?
