    When I moved to Silicon Valley I lived in my car for the first few months because rent was so expensive. Now that is outlawed. I honestly don't know if I would be able to get to Silicon Valley today. And I have a lot of advantages most people don't.

        One time the car (that I lived in) broke down and the tow truck driver offered to let me stay at his house. We stay in touch to this day. He works at Tesla now.https://www.quora.com/Would-becoming-homeless-be-a-good-strategy-to-cut-costs-1/answer/Austen-Allred …

        What is outlawed? Expensive rent?

        Sleeping in a car or RV is outlawed in every city in Silicon Valley so far as I can find. That wasn't the case back then.

        I lived behind a homemade screen in my kitchen so I could rent out both of the bedrooms in my apartment.

        Some months I was almost rent-free! I had a young kid who was also not super rich in one of the rooms & Airbnb’d the other one. When we were able to keep the Airbnb full, I also cut my roommate’s rent. Had a lot of international students & families of kids @ Berkeley, cool people

        Come checkout Indianapolis. We’ve got talent, tax credits, and our office space is ~20% the cost of SV. @IndyMayorJoe

        The draw of SV is access to capital. SV is not a tech hub, is an investor hub...that's why it's a difficult place to replicate.

        The hard part of SV to replicate is executive talent with 15+ yrs experience

        That's true of literally every business hub on the planet...not specific to SV.

        They say "There is no success without hardship" clearly in Silicon Valley people can't even afford the hardship let alone success... I mean I know "symbiotic" SV is known as the land of scaling... but poverty shouldn't be scaled, or it will be parasitic and SV's undoing!

        I think it's also underappreciated that as tech people wisely flee the prohibitive expense of Tier 1 cities to take advantage of Tier 2 & 3 cities.... they inadvertently fuel the acceleration of the cost of living (e.g Oakland) causing the same issues they had faced for locals.
