Relevant text: Oracle is implementing a more flexible employee work location policy and has changed its Corporate Headquarters from Redwood City, California to Austin, Texas. We believe these moves best position Oracle for growth and provide our personnel with more flexibility about where and how they work. Depending on their role, this means that many of our employees can choose their office location as well as continue to work from home part time or all of the time. In addition, we will continue to support major hubs for Oracle around the world, including those in the United States such as Redwood City, Austin, Santa Monica, Seattle, Denver, Orlando and Burlington, among others, and we expect to add other locations over time. By implementing a more modern approach to work, we expect to further improve our employees’ quality of life and quality of output.

Is _this_ the point where everyone and their grandpa has finally figured out that Austin is cool, and therefore it is automatically not cool anymore?

What's the next hip town?

I’ve been also hearing a lot about Miami.

NY -> Miami

California -> Austin

I think you could probably chalk a lot of this up to where company leadership has their vacation homes.

Yes! Miami is where it’s at. Please move to Miami. Don’t defile the rest of Florida.

The next hip town is wherever you happen to be as long as you are doing something interesting.

The idea that location matters is so last 20 years.

No one has vacation homes in Austin.
