Max contrasts the Bay Area's ten-year outlook with Europe and New York's short-term focus. He argues that thinking ahead wires Bay residents for innovation and entrepreneurship, making it a place built for people who want to build the future.

Max, what makes the Bay Area such a great place to be?
I think when you're in France, in Europe, you think about yesterday, tomorrow, you think about your problems. People in New York, you think about the financial markets. So you're thinking, what's the Fed gonna do? What is the stock market gonna do? You think only— you live in a 6 months ahead world. Here you live 10 years ahead. You live in the future. People are wired that way. So every conversation you have, these amazing entrepreneurs, and I think only innovation can come from here. So come to the Bay, guys.
