Probably the worst place to build out data centers, especially considering the costs of running them and hiring employees to manage the computers within them. Unless... there are a lot of companies with a lot of employees in the valley in need of more machines, and willing to pay high rates to employees to maintain them here, instead of cheap locations around the US or the world even.
