#3I just moved to the Bay Area and I have no good opinions about living here. It’s a 3 trillion dollar neighborhood that has broken infrastructure, an abysmal housing situation, crime through the roof, homeless people everywhere, traffic, outrageous costs and just generally an awful place to live. I don’t know about the business side, but from an employee standpoint, fuck the Bay Area. Oh, and my car got broken into twice, and someone asshat stole my license plates.

Crime through the roof? People who live in actual high crime areas would like a word with you.
It sounds like you've experienced more than your fair share of crime since moving to the BA, but calling it high crime is beyond a stretch.

If the exodus goes from a trickle to a torrent, the city budget propped up by property taxes is going to crater. Whatever problems there are now with homelessness, imagine what it will be like when social services can no longer be provided for them. San Francisco is a ship that lost power to its engines while coasting towards an iceberg.

I mean the peninsula is mostly a dump but even historically “bad” neighborhoods like Richmond and Oakland are miles away from where they were 10-20 years ago. The East Bay and Silicon Valley proper are downright decent places to live.

#10To where in Texas are they moving? The non-paid version of the WSJ article doesn’t say. I keep hearing that in massive influx of tech companies to the Austin area has driven up housing rates and congestion to absurd levels. Probably won’t be long before tech companies skip Austin for cities like Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.
