Boulder another Silicon Valley?
Paul Graham thinks Boulder could become the next Silicon Valley:
Within the US, the two cities I think could most easily be turned into new silicon valleys are Boulder and Portland. Both have the kind of effervescent feel that attracts the young. They’re each only a great university short of becoming a silicon valley, if they wanted to.
While I think Bolder is a terrific place to start a business, I frankly hope it doesn’t follow the same path as the Bay Area. Housing prices are already rather high here and traffic gets worse each year. Thought I wouldn’t mind if a few of those Bay Area billionaires settled here and started doing angel investing.

My god, I hope not.

If Boulder did turn into another SV, perhaps we’d get good bands coming through on weekends instead of on Mondays. Seems like Denver/Boulder only gets the tired folks on a layover between Chicago and LA.
