I think that last question is really good, sniffing out bureaucracy is something I would focus highly on. As a developer it would be important to me to know what their environment provisioning is like. Maybe something like:
- I'm running a proof of concept for something that will exceed the limitations of my local machine. How would I get/walk me through the process of getting virtual space.
Pretty much every city, that I've ever been to or lived in is "on the cusp" of a tech boom. SF is actually in a tech boom. I understand the holds ups especially with the housing prices, and what not. I think there are other alternatives like San Diego, and Seattle that aren't quite as saturated but still tech heavy. I'm not sure I would want to gamble with "This might be a tech hub in the future"
