Ashes to silicon
Article Abstract:
Phoenix, Arizona, is a rapidly growing city whiuch has been affected by smog and traffic congestion. There is hope for the development of internet companies, since they do not appear to have great demands for space. There has been a growth of some 13% annually in internet jobs, and office space is cheaper than in the Bay Area. Venture capital and education are less developed in Arizona, and quality of life is needed to attract educated incomers. This means that smog and congestion are important issues, as is Phoenix's nightlife.
