Taxes are high, per employee cost is high, health insurance is a killer, office space cost is murder, and there is no state level infrastructure to support and sustain the business. However, if you are working with federal customers you may want to stick with the east coast and Boston is probably the most logical place for development (DC for biz office).

So sure the infrastructure is better here in the Valley now, but it is the lack of non-compete agreements in California that saw the area thrive. It's not really about the individual companies or talent, it is the strength and resilience of the overall ecosystem not being hampered by non-competes thus attracting and retaining the talent in the area.
