@jeremys @ycombinator it's not unreasonable and I'd be more open to it than SF at this point. but MV still feels optimal for now.

@sama @ycombinator Healthy for SF to have some tech center competition. Teams still want to be in MV? Boring!

@sama @jeremys @ycombinator Oakland would be a pretty hot location especially due to the homegrown maker, burner and biohacker community
