Read excerpt
The demand for certain public services never goes away. Health care and education are the most obvious examples, but there are many others. Child care is one.

Global commercial real estate firm CBRE ranks the tech sector for all North American markets. Its 13th annual report report tells us what we might expect and that is San Francisco and Seattle are ranked #1 and #
