Contrarian investors try to do what most investors don't. Don't most VCs invest primarily in companies that are nearby, meaning Silicon Valley proper and maybe the larger peninsula? Which means a contrarian would invest outside it. Maybe way outside it. Like Kansas.

Well, I was just trying to explain why that might not need to be the case. You can be contrarian and focus on the Bay Area. And that in fact might be smarter.
