Sillycon Valley has lots of reasons to be viewed as unattractive - why all
the high-tech, software intensive firms want to be there I do not know. If
software can be built anywhere, then why does it all have to center in a
place where property values are astronomical and traffic is horrible - with
wages needing to be commensurate? But I suppose if companies out there keep
deciding in favor of things like Java and C++ (instead of Ada :-) then I
suppose it figures that they'll pay far more for land, salaries, utilities,
taxes, regulations, etc. than they would anywhere else. :-)
