because of a 40 year old foundation. It isn't the leader in anything. If you want to make it as an actor, you move to Hollywood. You want to fund a technology startup or work in that field, you move to silicon valley, and even that field is moving out (along with everyone else)

Silicon Valley is still booming. New companies every week. The effects of supply and demand are evident in how much housing costs there, especially relative to inland parts of the same state.

The parts that are leaving are the labor. Not the innovators (for the most part.) The field of developing technology is going strong in NorCal in an insane way.

Labor and physical plants will always move to where it's cheaper, whether its Mexico, China, or Mississippi.

eta: don't get me wrong. Prop 65 is not good.

you have no fricking clue what you are talking about, while other states and regions are trying to siphon off the valley's success, its still booming.

In fact, santa clara county - the heart of the valley is the fastest growing county in california. You don't grow if people are leaving.
