San Francisco Business Times "Every week brings news of yet another Bay Area company that plans to move its headquarters out of the region — essentially saying enough is enough.
"Enough with drug-users shooting up across from Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters. Enough with walking by someone defecating in the street in the city’s Financial District, enough with avoiding confrontations with the homeless who appear mentally ill.
"Those quality of life issues are on top of the escalating housing costs, growing traffic congestion and higher taxes that are likely to only get worse as President Trump’s tax overhaul means many of the Bay Area’s most successful residents will be paying more to the IRS." . . .
Here are just a few of the companies leaving the area. Many others are listed at this link.| Company Name | Bay Area HQ | New HQ Location | Satellite office/ HQ2 location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bechtel | San Francisco | Reston, Virginia | |
| Charles Schwab | San Francisco | New or expanded offices in Denver, Dallas and El Paso | |
| Jamba Juice | Emeryville | Dallas, Texas | |
| McKesson | San Francisco | Dallas, Texas | |
| Pandora | Oakland | Atlanta, Georgia | |
