Um, no, you fail at basic logic. Those two statements are not even remotely mutually exclusive. I recommend you to study set theory. Useful in everyday life.

Are you kidding? Big Tech is what defines Silicon Valley! San Francisco is not part of Silicon Valley. I'm talking about SILICON VALLEY aka Santa Clara County. We love tech and it is the basis of the economy down here. It is far from a burden. That's like saying the movie industry is a burden for Los Angeles! lol.

And Elizabeth Warren is a communist. She'll never have my vote. I'm a Blue Dog Democrat looking to vote for a center-left candidate such as Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris is really a Communist.

I've seen similar articles too. The Bay Area accounts for half of California's job creation (and so far this year, 81 percent of it). Job creation in the Bay Area is relentless.

That doesn't contradict the original article about companies leaving; both are happening. But there's way more job creation than job loss. Those companies leaving barely makes a dent in the local economy.

Companies headquartered in the area but opening more offices in other areas is a trend that will continue and that makes sense. There was a huge article in my local San Diego Union Tribune about that. The companies can't keep importing every type of employee to their HQ and doesn't have to. Everything is in the cloud nowadays, so Google can open satellite offices in major cities all over the country. And tech companies are doing just that. Large cities across the country will see more and more spillover from Silicon Valley's success.

I've also read that nowhere is the 'middle class" growing faster than in the Bay Area. That is, a "new" middle class that earns more than $200,000 a year just to afford a middle class lifestyle. But that's where the job growth is, and it's squeezing out the old middle class that can no longer afford to stay. It's an entire paradigm shift.

Interestingly, while we've known people to leave SF in recent years, we've also known others to move there. Job, population, and housing growth continue.

The Silicon Valley Region was originally a bedroom community for SF. I would support upzonning the areas around tech campuses for highrises and all single family home areas in San Jose for mid rise condos but the region still likes to act like they are still a suburb. It would make sense to relocate to cities that are building more housing. Even LA is more affordable and a lot of tech campuses are opening up there.

Communism doesn't exist in positions of power in the US. Kama Harris is a Neoliberal on economics but left wing on race and gender issues.

Good. Can’t hardly happen too soon. Problem is another horde will replace them and then some more.

It would make sense to relocate a lot of those jobs to Silicon Beach which has access to affordable areas such as Inglewood and Hawthorne which are in need of gentrification.

Silicon Beach is a bad idea. The current millenials are already being spoiled by companies that court them and will pay them high salaries and hipster perks to work there, and have a somewhat lazy attitude because of that. Imagine throwing in the beach and it will be even a bigger problem. Probably would help alot with recruiting. However, LA too crowded, just simply way, way too crowded.
