YouTube, risk and REWARDS

As quoted in Michael Liedtke's YouTube article today in the Merc: "You can sort of look at Silicon Valley as a giant casino where you need the slot machines to pay off at certain intervals. It's payoffs like this that makes people want to keep taking risks." - Keith Rabois (a YouTube investor). What does this have to do with real estate in the Bay Area? Mucho my dear investor - The vibrant, the intelligent, the movers and shakers will continue to thrive here - Many will win and those wins will continue to make this a place where everyone wants to attempt to be. With jobs available and payoffs in the minds of each techie out there, Silicon Valley will continue to be a crowded place.
