always SF vs. NYC, never LA (sad). anecdotally over the last 2 years, more and more of my friends have moved away from LA to SF or NYC:

to SF if they're interested in AI
to NYC if they're interested in any other tech

only friends that have stayed in LA are CPG, entertainment, or grew up / have family in LA

i see and hear that too love companies like boom have 3d printers in colorado to make things over night but la/ south bay packs century-deep aerospace talent and every shop you need for cnc, composites, heat-treat materials, etc inside a 20-mile loop (friends in austin hard tech missing that ability/ trying to build thank out). founders i talked to that choose la due to the generational know how + ultra-dense working chain + transportation built for wwii, port, rail ways, and major freeways = prototype today, finished part rolling out tomorrow. personally betting on the growth of ohio , illinois and michigan come back (hi tech belt) factors- railway infra and power density (11 nuclear reactors 50% of illinois grid and they’re welcoming the quantum sector)

eh, even starting to see more of that move to Texas or places where it is easier to build!
