Maybe it hits a little close to home. From my experience, there's a bit of a disdain for SV in the other US tech hubs (Austin, Atlanta, Raleigh, Boulder, et Al) and maybe rightfully so.

That isn't a good reason to change the title. Seems like it should hit close to home if it is accurate.

I agree and I'm disappointed HN would change the title. They claim it is a PR piece for Kairos but it certainly doesn't read that way to me.

If this was truly a heartfelt article, I doubt it would have cast Kairos as the only do-gooder in this industry. The focus on helping the US Midwest is straight from Kairos’ thesis.

Most honest articles about SV’s shortfalls focus on bigger problems, like global war, famine, or extreme poverty.
