Silicon Valley devs looking for a fresh start? Consider the Texas move—specifically Starbase. The numbers are telling: Tech captured 97.74% of the vote there. You've got a concentrated population of engineers already settled in. It's basically what the tech scene used to look like before it got bloated. Plus, there's real leadership backing innovation—call it what you want, but Elon's running the show down there.

This isn't just about packing up and leaving. It's about how the community actually wins: through mobility (voting with your feet), capital allocation (voting with your wallet), and formal politics (voting on the ballot). It's a triple threat strategy. People aren't complaining anymore—they're relocating. Money follows. Institutions adapt. That's the real market signal.
