The End Of Silicon Valley?

from the too-much-too-quickly dept

A new study has come out suggesting that Silicon Valley may lose its title as tech capital of the world unless they start doing something about quality of life issues. Many companies are finding it much cheaper and easier to startup elsewhere. This definitely makes a lot of sense. It will be interesting to watch how the Valley reacts to this. I do believe that they can keep their lead (all of the infrastructure is in place) but things definitely need to change to account for all of the growth. Of course, in theory, the people out here are supposed to be experts at changing to match changes in the environment around them.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
