Report: Silicon Valley Hurting For Culture

“A majority of regional leaders believe Silicon Valley is losing ground in its ability to attract a creative workforce, in part because of an inadequate cultural environment, according to a new survey. Fifty-eight percent of Silicon Valley leaders who participated in the survey — called the Creative Community Index — said their ability to recruit creative talent is dropping compared with other global centers of technology. They cited the lack of an energetic urban core and insufficient leisure and cultural activities as among key reasons… The perceived lack of cultural opportunities, however, apparently doesn’t mean a lack of interest on the part of the public.”
