This is really pleasant. I should work till midnight all the time. A goofy thought, perhaps. Blame the adrenaline. Knowledge workers congregate in favored locations, networking their way to riches.
Some areas thrive.
Childless knowledge workers are flocking to hip urban enclaves, creating multi-media meccas in San Francisco, Manhattan, Seattle, Boston and other cities. In the process, they're gentrifying the working class right out of town. Irvine, Salt Lake City, Raleigh-Durham, Austin and Chandler, Ariz., are some examples. Older, un-cute industrial cities, such as Newark, Detroit and St. Louis, are the obvious losers. Quality of life was why Silicon Valley happened here, he told me.
