And I I I could spend a long time taking you through them.

You you probably know them all already.

But like Silicon Valley has real issues as a as a place.

In including, by the way, just like practical issues.

cost cost of living, cost of housing, cost of tr you know transportation, commutes, like and then when you get into politics and it's a whole nother parade of horribles.

And so like there are a lot of issues.

And then you know look, San Francisco proper, there are a lot of issues.

Like it it, you know, it's a city that 100% does not want to grow.

It's a city for which like the voters on average do not want business to be there.

You know, it's a city that's, you know, has real issues for, you know, quality of life and so forth.

Um and so like I would love to see the industry spread throughout the US and that's

spread throughout the world.

I would love to see that.

I was very optimistic about that happening in in in you know 2020, 2021.

I thought COVID was obviously horrible, but the sudden phenomenon of video conferencing and then you know Slack and then virtual workplace and you know all the hybrid and all these new methods, you know, management methods and technologies that were brought to bear to help companies, you know, decentralized and and run from home.

I I mean I was blown away in 2020 that like the banking system didn't collapse, the stock market didn't collapse.

That it turned out you could just like put all these companies online and they could just keep running.

The valley didn't collapse.

You know, in fact, a lot of valley companies grew a lot.

And so I was very enthusiastic between 2020 and let's say 2023 that we had cracked the code on how to finally get away from the geographic constraints of Silicon Valley.
