[quote=Anonymous]The military industrial complex + universities had always been the place for technology and innovation. It is no coincidence that the Silicon Valley of China is next to the top 2 universities in the country and next to a bunch of government IT/defense labs in Zhongguncun. NoVA was the original silicon valley in the early days with AOL and Darpanet and eventually lost out due to early semiconductor leads in SV. It is now making a comeback with data centers and the cloud. Palantir has a big office in Georgetown, its second largest office outside of Palo Alto. So at this point it should be no wonder to anybody that HQ2 landed here, (in fact I think it was originally planned for the full 50k to be here, but was split  due to some last minute NY deal cutting). We may yet hear about apple and its 10k job office in Tysons and Microsoft will likely expand their Azure operations in NoVA massively in the coming  years.

The question is if this area were to become silicon valley 2.0 in the next 10 years, what would the property market, education, traffic and taxes look like?[/quote]
