Silicon Valley is the cradle of innovation. Uber, YouTube, and Apple all first released from this patch of land. But what many don't know is that it is also a dystopia. Rent is expensive, housing is expensive, and the homeless population has skyrocketed. Companies like Google have built small cities and don't want their employees to leave, making it impossible for the locals to afford to live in the neighborhoods they grew up in.

The main reason why the cost of living is so high in California is housing. Regulations from the '70s and '80s have made it almost impossible to build vertical living, which would be the ideal way to ensure affordable living. Gas, electricity, and just about every other aspect of living in California is more expensive than other states.

Diversity is also a major issue in Silicon Valley. Black workers in tech are a statistical oddity, and only 4.7% of the tech working force is Latino. Women make up only 26% of leadership roles even when they are 44% of the workforce. Burnout, anxiety, and depression are also rampant.
