A massive tech company exodus occurring in Austin, Texas

All great points. I don't recall the valley being that diverse, nor is ... for example, Boulder, CO and they're still hot spots.

If tech is mostly "bro dudes", they're definitely not moving away from Austin due to "diversity or abortion rights". They moved to escape the CA state taxes & the politics of the area they left.

The article is trying to support an economic thesis with social / identity politic reasoning.

Dude if the valley is not diverse then I’m excited to see what diverse looks like! :)

Silicon Valley is only diverse if you count Asians as diverse. It’s also extremely segregated: my recollection from all the times I’ve been there was that it was only whites/Asians in tech and VC and other groups in service jobs. East Texas is better in that regard (quite integrated, I suspect because the oil industry is a source of good jobs for both whites and Hispanics). So is Atlanta, with its large affluent black population.
