Ask HN: Is BayArea still considered as hub for technological innovation?

I have always wanted to move to Bayarea ever since I visited for the first time in 2017. Since then I was able to spend few months during Covid, but now I have an opportunity to move [San Jose]. Some of the factors that standout are Weather/Climate, big tech - more career opportunities, proximity to different nature, bad housing. What are the other pluses, minuses moving to Bayarea at this time in your opinion? TIA!
