For me, as an Argentinean visiting NYC, LA and SF, the overwhelming “superiority” of SF in terms of entrepreneurship was seen in the small details. Like riding a bus and siting next to someone that was coding their startup (real example). Or driving a few miles south and visiting a biology/lab in a garage (also real example).
The VCs and all that is probably true. But the air you breath on SF is different.
Its funny that you feel you have to specify that those are real examples, since those (especially the person coding on the bus) are just such obviously common things that nobody in the bay would even think those might be made up examples.
