How about they fix the public transport system first ? The bay area (united states in general, except for a few places) has the worst public transportation system.

The VTA light rails and buses are nothing compared to new york or even boston for that matter!

Living in small tech enclaves in the South (e.g. Atlanta, Chattanooga, Raleigh) would make you eat those words. You might be surprised to find these areas are attractive because there is lots of room for leasing out data centers.

MUNI, BART, CalTrain are (albeit, sadly) leagues ahead of anything these cities have to offer.

SV isn't even remotely close to being in the same universe in terms of density, which is needed to make transit really work.
