IMO, they should look at commercializing NUQ (Moffett Field) in Mountain View and make it the new SJC. It would be a great location since it's not surrounded by a city as with the current SJC.

One downside though would be it would add to the already crazy traffic in the 101-237 corridor.

I think that the residents of Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and Palo Alto might have a few issues with that.

Personally, I hope Silicon Valley maintains its backward nimby-ism so the rest of the country can benefit from some of the proliferation of tech companies.

I would happily take a deal where all the advertising tech companies leave, and only the hardware companies remain (remember why it was originally called silicon valley, not adtech/web/social/... valley).

I wouldn't be surprised if the opposite happened first.

I'm not sure whether you're being sarcastic, but more geographic diversification in the tech industry would be a good thing for the country as a whole.

Google will never allow it. They dont need an international airport in the middle of the campus.

Ah yes, I forgot that Mountain View//Sunnyvale is now a dictatorship under Google /s

They do have dominance over Moffett Field runways.
