San Francisco as the de facto capital of tech is done. That time and place is over. There’s no point in moving there for tech, the businesses are shut down and people aren’t meeting up.

It’s all internet now, for a while. And relocation to towns and cities around the world.
This is healthy overall. Many in SF wanted tech gone. They are getting their wish.

Tech in turn is finally fully decentralizing and cutting the last obligate ties to the land. Making everything remote means tech can be anywhere. And build startup cities in the middle of nowhere.
Two other magnets that brought people to the Bay Area are also being virtualized.

1) Investing continues to move online with AngelList rolling funds, Zoom VC, and the resurgence of crypto.

2) And Stanford/Berkeley are moving to remote instruction for at least a year.
