Big cities are increasingly the sought-after platforms for the kind of high-creativity, high-productivity knowledge-research-and-technology work that is increasingly the main source of U.S. growth... Scale matters because it maximizes the possibilities, whether for accessing critical tech, hiring the right person, and immersing in a cutting edge business community.
My fear is that the Republicans to date may not fully understand what modern advanced manufacturing is... It’s not necessarily thousands of people pouring into the plant as in the old days.
The sheer scale of the tech boom is really straining the primary hubs and ratcheting up the pressure to move outwards... It’s having cascading real estate effects.
