SOMA - an area known for buildings with high ceilings, artsy, home of the dotcoms, formerly warehouses. Dotcoms didn't mind bidding up the rent in SOMA, so a 30 to 50% contraction isn't surprising and does not accurately reflect Silicon Valley. Things aren't as extreme in Silicon Valley, where folks have an eye on the numbers. Regards, Amy J
