The US Brain Belt.

Boston and San Francisco have more to worry about then India. 

Young people are moving to where they can raise families, afford a house and maybe even a stay- at-home spouse.  That's why there's a burgeoning- US Brain Belt in the mountain, plain and southwest states.  Via American Digest.

The Japanese have a word for this uniquely American strength—sokojikara. This is their term for our resiliency and ability to recover in new and often unexpected ways. They view it as resting on three pillars—our vast natural resources, our deep human resources thanks to our large population and continuing stream of immigrants, and our wide-open economy which is constantly reinventing itself. With these assets and its pioneering spirit, America is often alone among the great advanced industrial powers in possessing an ability to constantly remake itself afresh.
In the latest example of this, America has experienced a form of geography-based renewal over the last several decades. Population and entrepreneurial energy has shifted away from the old centers of the Northeast and upper Midwest to burgeoning new centers in the South, West, and Southwest. This has changed the map of American innovation, and it has transformed the world.

The remarkable success of places like Silicon Valley, Seattle, and Austin in generating new jobs and opportunities over the last generation is well known. But today the ability of these places to keep expanding is severely limited by rising housing costs, growing congestion, and often strong anti-business political environments. The resulting seismic re-ordering became noticeable after the collapse of the dotcom bubble. Since 2001, San Jose (Silicon Valley) has experienced a 23 percent drop in information jobs—the loss of some 200,000 positions. Boston’s information sector has shrunk by 22 percent, San Francisco’s by 17 percent, Austin’s by 13 percent.
------Census figures tell us some of the story. Last year, North Dakota—which has been losing population for decades— gained people. Massachusetts, the original hotbed of America’s technological revolution, suffered population loss.
On the education front as well, the Brain Belt is gaining ground. State universities in the hinterlands, like the University of Nevada, Brigham Young, and Utah State, are growing at a furious pace. Enrollment at North Dakota State in Fargo has jumped over 30 percent since 1999. The graduating classes in New England, meanwhile, are stagnant and in Massachusetts they are declining.
None of this suggests that MIT and Harvard are about to be outshone by Boise State, or that Silicon Valley is about to become a branch office of the Red River Valley. But something very important, and promising, is happening as economic invigoration stretches through the great American heartland.
