Well, at least the rents'll probably go back down again...  :-/

From TechDaily, today (story "How Green Was Their Valley?", AM edition):

"The amount of money flowing into Silicon Valley companies from the
public markets is quickly evaporating, according to new data provided
to AP. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reports on a study by Cushman
and Wakefield that predicts about 80 percent of the remaining dot-com
companies in the Bay area will collapse in the next year, wiping out
some 30,000 jobs."
