They dont have new millionaires moving in. They HAD new millionaires being MADE, because silicon valley had a shit ton of IPOs before the bubble crashed, and lots of people become millionaires thru their options. A large portion of those newly minted milionaires left. And silicon valley isnt going to minting many millionaires the next few years.
