@sama But that assumes quality of talent is same in both places. If engineer quality is better in SF, that should offset cost premium

@sama @pmarca any chance they will leave the city? In droves?

@sama better idea...rent a place in Millbrae. It's cheap; right off 101 & 280 if you drive; connected via BART, Caltrain, SFO

@sama curious, any YC companies based in or even thinking about Oakland? I feel like it never comes up. Always SF or SV. Wondering why? Thx
