First of all, this seems a self-correcting issue to me. IF it's slowing down, it's largely because of the relatively high cost of living in CA. IF it does slow down, that cost will become less extreme compared to other places and the growth will return because the things that produced it in the first place--the natural wonders of the CA coast and mountains, the cultural glories of the Bay Area and the prowess of the local universities--aren't going away.
But I'm not so sure it is going away. The story has long been that businesses are created in the Bay Area and some of them expand to other areas or move away entirely as they mature. But if you want to get in on the ground floor, or create a ground floor yourself, the Bay Area has long been the place to do it.
