Forced to move by their funding sources and then wouldn't feel comfortable about telling you the real reason :-)

I heard an interesting statistic from an angel investor here in Portland recently. San Francisco is ten times larger than Portand and the number of technical workers there is I don't remember how many times bigger, but the investment money available to technical workers here is $2,000 each, while in San Francisco, it's $200,000 each!

I would never move my company to San Francisco. Having to deal with the traffic alone wouldn't be worth a million dollars to me.

We lived in Vallejo 20 years ago...well, Mare Island, actually. I was the Califoria State Director for a student foreign exchange organization and drove all over the Bay Area all the time. I loved it back then. I don't even recognize the place anymore.

I'm actually glad people are going down there and not up here, though I suspect that will be changing in time, as the quality of life is so much better here.

As someone who has been in startups in the bay oyUn area and is now a CEO for a startup in Seattle, the number one reason to move to SF is because people in SF like to work with people in SF

People move to SF because of the weather? Astounding. That would be my number one reason to move away. Well maybe number two after the crazy prices for housing. And then there is the distance from the east coast. I'm an east coast sort of guy and being too far from it would just not feel right. But of course I'm not working for a start up either and not sure I want to.

The main problem I find with it is that if you're not of "the hive mind", or "common wisdom" of that place, you'll be ridiculed beyond belief. For a place that supposed to be tolerant, I've seen it be quite the opposite, sometimes violently so.

If you can live with that, it's a neat place to be.

Hmm, I guess no other start-ups have chosen an old airfield outside of London. We fail on points 1-5. Still we get to watch Top Gear from our boardroom window!

All of the above, and a very creative, more open culture. More artists per square foot, too, and a diverse population. Front edge thinking, political activism, a joie de vivre attitude mixed with can-do. I hope San Francisco can continue to live up to "the City that Knows How" motto.:-)

For a long time, there were relatively few large companies with meaningful engineering presences in San Francisco. You also have a set of folks who insist on living and working in SF. It's almost a separate labor market, especially for engineers. I'm curious to see if the arrival of Google (and perhaps others) will change that dynamic at all.

if you are freezing in San Francisco just drive five miles away. Get your company to locate in, say, Mountain View instead. There it's hot all summer long.

San Fran is a great city, but as others have mentioned, it can be pretty cold at times.

If you can live with that, it's a neat place to be.

Culture trumps any of those reasons. Succeeding here is all about getting along with the Indian guy and the sorority girl and the guy with blue hair and black nail polish. When lots of different types of people work together they're unstoppable.

I hate to spoil the fun, but that bike isn’t a Ninja 250. Note it has dual rear disk breaks and dual front disk breaks. It also has a under mounted exhaust. Sorry folks that is a ninja zx-10 1000cc supersport bike not a ninja 250r.
