A number of large Production, Distribution and Repair (PDR) spaces in San Franciscos Southern Bayview District, as well as elsewhere in the city, have been quietly been converted to indoor “grow houses” over the past few years, with businesses providing the equipment needed to maintain indoor grow houses such as full spectrum LED grow lights and other growing tools.

Wouldn’t even these be moving to lower cost locations?
Yup. It would only cost a couple hundred dollars to ship a million dollars of weed from Lake County to the Bay Area.

Very high.
Indoor grows produce higher quality product. The cloning and trimming process is labor intensive and there is a labor force here. Investors, owners, and workers want to live in the city and for the most part would not be comfortable living in Lake County–which is the equivalent of our Ozarks. Consumers are concentrated in the city, including huge numbers of cannabis tourist. Suppliers of grow-industry products, fertilizers, pumps, lights, etc sell at more competitive prices. For now indoor urban grows can support the higher costs here. A grower can easily control the entire process from clone to consumer here.
Even indoor grows will move to lower cost areas over time. The industry has not been welcome in most cities in the lower cost counties, but the attitude is changing at least for growing for out of the area consumers.
