Perhaps back in the 90s it was chic and funky to be physically close to other tech companies. Silicon Valley has changed drastically as well. The only reason old tech companies remain in old tech territories is because a dog gets used to where its born and raised.
My only issue is that when companies are not being efficient enough which makes the people suffer who uses their products. Even doctors are being outsourced to India in LA. Some guy in LA had an indian doctor on a monitor screen with a moving robot tell him the bad news at a hospital. To me that is the forward spirit LL lacks. That hospital knows what the future is like. Imagine the cost that hospital saves.
Why should people suffer because companies are too lazy to break their old habits? We are just humans, we get used to how things are and refuse to move on. Outsourcing is the modern way. Place the dataservers in middle of midwest somewhere, in a bunker. Below the ground so it's protected, cools it too. Some very popular IT companies in Europe are in underground bunkers which handles way more traffic than SL. Most towns these days even in USA midwest got high capacity access to fiberoptics which would serve the Dataservers with no problem. Then use drones to guard the facility, cheaper than human guards. Outsource the rest. Only need 3 Employees in main center building. Cost efficient and would secure the future of SL.
