Silicon Valley feels very detached from the daily lives of most Americans. One way to change this - relocate tech co's that don’t need to be there to other parts of the country. Would reduces consumer costs too as Sillicon Valley is one of our most expensive regions.
Washington DC feels very detached from the daily lives of most Americans. One way to change this - relocate Federal agencies that don’t need to be in DC to other parts of the country. Would save tons of money too as DC is one of our most expensive cities.
