How many of you would like the Washington/Baltimore region to look more like in the future 30 years from now? Would you like it to resemble Silicon Valley or cities like Atlanta, Chicago, or NYC? I created this poll because I believe the region will be the epicenter of two white-collar industries in the future. One being the bio-tech/research/medical industry and defense. Much like Silicon Valley in CA is the epicenter of software, tech gadgets, etc. Though we are stealing some of the software market from them as well. If you have another example of a place in the U.S. or the world you’d like our region to follow after please feel free to share also.
Please give your reasoning or ideas behind your choice.
