In truth, you could make much the same argument about most cities that aren't SF, NYC or Seattle. No one city is going to be the next SV. What we're seeing is a national transition away from the suburbs and back into large metro areas. The first cities had a leg up due to being the epicenters of various industries but everyone else is catching up.
I agree. It's funny/interesting to me how everyone everywhere has been holding up their local food scene as a special point of pride recently, when just about every city in America in 2016 is teeming with dozens of good local restaurants, microbreweries, coffee roasters, etc.
