Isn’t it rather obvious? These are not low-end assembly jobs. They are high-end engineering and finance jobs that require an educated workforce.

The presence of UC Berkeley and Stanford Universities were instrumental in making Silicon Valley the same way.

Austin is as liberal as California. It fits their "culture"
