I agree with the statement the most (also a Chicagoan). Chicago isn't a tech hub, and people need to stop saying it is. Why is it that our flagship university (UIUC) sends more people to Silicon Valley/Seattle than Chicago, which is only 2 hours away? They need to focus on bringing in some more mature tech companies (engineering teams, for one), and that can help potentially bring some more startups here.
