Honestly this is one of the things I couldn't stand about the bay area. Tons of people that think they're hot stuff and the rest of the country is a dump pile. It reflects in HN comments all the time.

The reality is Ohio State is actually a good university and there's really solid talent out there too. You also have Chicago not all that far away that's a big talent hub.

Please don't take HN threads further into regional flamewar, regardless of which region you have a problem with. It's tedious, offtopic, hellish, and particularly avoidable.

Which is especially ironic, considered how much of a shithole San Francisco has become

This is getting old. I've lived in the Bay Area for 20+ years and guess what, the Bay Area != San Francisco (I personally go to SF less than once every two years).

As far as I can tell, every part of the country dumps on every other part of the country. Sometimes including other parts of their own state.

Been a few years since I heard anyone claim the bay area or SF was really great.

We had our time. It was great. Now a new era starts.

The whinging hits everyone. Look at any HN story involving the Bay Area, and you'll see a dozen subthreads about how it's a post-apocalyptic hellscape. (But it's home, you know.)

Speaking as an elitist left-wing hippie-business-geek-bro-demon in the Bay Area...

Kudos to the Columbus Area! Ohio, build it up!
