[quote=FlyerInHi]I agree, AN. If we want San Diego to become a world class city, we need density to accommodate the workforce to support companies in the golden triangle.

Tech companies employ graduates who come from all over the world, places where density is taken for granted.[/quote]

Have you noticed that biotech is migrating to SF even though it’s cheaper for the (already existing) workforce to live here? They go where the VC money is. Companies that are convenient for the Sandhill Rd investors to visit or learn of are getting funded. Take a look at this: http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/biotech/2015/01/illumina-ilmn-biomed-realty-trust-bmr-foster-city.html

Illumina was the poster child for San Diego based biotech. My understanding is that if it were not for the founder’s love of SD, they’d have moved already. Schering Plough (now part of Merck) left, Merck built a building that they never inhabited, Pfizer if shriveling up, etc. etc.

We’ve already got a bunch of people here who are well trained and unemployed – businesses locate themselves for many reasons – if they wanted a work force “[tell] them we already got one” (to quote Monty Python).
