You could probably open 3 different offices in 3 other metropolitan areas for the same cost as your SF office.
- wtbob 11y agoYup. I used to belong to a non-profit which had its headquarters in Milpitas (just checked, and it still does). Several years ago, they radically changed their fee structure, complaining that costs were too high. Well, sure: if you base yourself in one of the most expensive parts of the country, costs will be far too high! Also, as a developer, there's no way I'd want to live in the Bay Area. I'm glad that many people enjoy it, but California's not the place for me, not at all.
