The the educational level in the US is more or less equal and capital and talent have been free to move anywhere within the US - so why does SV exist? You want to argue that eventually the "law of one price" will assert itself. The interesting question is why hasn't the "law" asserted itself within the US.

In some cases, superior to the average talent available in SV. Where would that be? I'm curious. I have worked in a few geographical areas of the US implementing large DB projects and I was amazed at how little knowledge of how to get a system up and running exists outside of SV. For the really big DB projects like Dell, SV personnel is relocated for the implementation period. As an example of what I mean, when I first went to a shop in the Detroit area as a sort of visionary person for order mgmt, I found they were hiring DBAs and moving them around in a development capacity when the needs arose. This isn't really the right way to staff an order mgmt dept, DBA skills and business analysis, R&D are completely different skillsets.
