Can someone explain to me why all these startup companies end up in California? Surely there are much more economical places to run a tech company from. Is it just the connections?


I think having Stanford and Berkeley close by is a big reason as well.


$600 subsidy to live within a mile of the office! I would live in my car and pocket that. But I would then spend it on one trip to Spagos.


Do I hear people complain? Please come and check out how bad it is in LA now :)


Palo Alto is getting harder and harder to live in.
