But how many people and corporations would be willing to take that risk? Sure, it would be a lot cheaper, but Detroit simply doesn't have the resources and infrastructure to support the same things as San Francisco. Unless there was a huge crash in silicon valley that affected companies there the way the automobile industry collapse affected Detroit, there's little incentive to leave. In their eyes, don't fix what ain't broke.
