Haha not a word about social issues or crime. I wonder why.

precisely.

> It used to be that the best city for technologists was the Bay Area.... ...but Covid reordered the world.

The Bay Area governments and surrounding State have/has essentially unlimited budgets. They have no political opponents. The actual problem is the ideas, and I wish they would stay in California where they belong.

[reducesuffering]

Most of the Bay Area is safer from crime than 90% of the country, probably safer than where you are.

> stay in California where they belong

Out of the US biggest 100 cities, CA also has 3/7 top safest from violent crime.

No problem with the ideas that cause Alaska, Tennessee, Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Texas to have higher violent crime rates than CA as a whole?

Prevailing political sentiment is an important social issue and it was addressed in the article.

Maybe, but homelessness/poverty and education quality not, for example. These would be important for people who plan to have a family.

I guess the social side can be deduced easily from the fact that these places are single-party cryptodictatorships, though.
