Currently living in Redwood City, grew up in Cincinnati. It's a fantastic city in all numbers of ways, except the technology scene is so poor. Library book sales will have essentially no books worth reading on CS or technology, and no jobs. (A high school friend does meat-and-potatoes web dev work, and I've heard of nobody else even in the field.)
But the city, outside of this, is in a great period right now-- abandoned buildings in Over-the-Rhine are getting turned into innovative, cool spaces. Public transit is coming to downtown. The river area is getting developed into something really pleasant. And there's so much space for cheap housing in every direction.
My girlfriend (from Sunnvyale) said it's the first city outside the Bay Area she found so liveable. But no reasonable jobs to be had...
