A city doesn't have to be big to be diverse. It just has to be "not a mining town" or "not dominated by a single industry".

By this logic people shouldn't move to the Bay Area since it's dominated by tech.
I don't consider "tech" to be a single industry, and also it's not exactly a mono-company area like a mining town.
Buying property in Bay Area is a bet. I can imagine scenarios where it won't pay off.
The Bay Area economy is diversified. The weather is also great.
