Real talent goes (or stays) wherever it damn well pleases, and has the leverage to insist on telecommuting if that's not where HQ happens to be. "All the talent is in X" is egotistical BS for any value of X, whether it's a city or a whole country.

You're talking about the super-high-end. I'm talking about a statistical distribution.

There are way, way more talented people, for any level of talent, in the bay area than in Phoenix.
