I'm under the impression that Denver (and Boulder) already have. The Raleigh/Durham metropolis certainly is, too, because it's not just Raleigh. In fact, although Raleigh is the largest single city, the conglomerate of Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill, Carrboro (not to mention Knightdale, Zebulon, Garner, and Clayton to the East/South), has been thriving for a looong time. The tech presence has only been growing quickly over the past decade, but Cisco, IBM, Netapp, Microsoft, Google, Citrix, Redhat, Allscripts, and many others all have significant presence there. This doesn't include non-tech tech, like Genband, Gemalto, Cree, and more, or all the biotech/pharma there.

We lived in Cary for 13 years until moving to San Jose two years ago. There are many reasons we miss it.

This has been my question lately too.

I love Austin, but the recent growth spurt has me wondering how the city will support it.

My bet has been on Nashville, but I think that's been exploding already as well.

Minneapolis and Asheville both have decent tech scenes although I don't know if they have the tourist capacity to encourage tech people to move there.
