Big business keeps on coming.
Facebook was invented in Boston, but Zuckerberg had to move it to the silicon valley. Moves like this offset small business. The 49 state migration is now a net inbound to California.
Imagine what a small business friendly climate would do? Population would explode, but there are too many impediments for building new housing withing 50 miles of the coast.
Jerry Brown is anti suburb, which means anti population growth.
So being DFL for small business: no big deal.
At least once a week, I take the time to write back to recruiters trying to poach me into a job in Silicon Valley. I always tell them, “I will never move to California”. Only to some 3rd worlder does California look attractive.
