Really? I've seen the opposite. The downtowns of places like Indianpolis, Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, etc. were underinvested wastelands not too long ago. Now a lot of young people want to live in these places. Not to mention the hipster paradises of Portland, Austin, etc.

SF, Seattle, NYC, DC, Boston, etc., are still the major magnets, but "hip" urban living isn't as confined to the coasts as it used to be IMO.

Those cities are becoming great places to live, but if you work in tech the opportunities in the bay area still dwarf everything else.

Some industries are very centralized in one city - tech in the bay area, finance in NYC, entertainment in LA, etc.
