I guess it depends on what you want. I think it's fair to say that most work places outside of SV have less innovation (with some exceptions of course). I'm saying this as someone who moved from Texas to SV. For me personally, there are tons of activities to do and not enough time in SV, which wasn't the case in Texas. It's a fast paced life and it took a while to get used to. Yes there are negatives: cost of living, taxes, commute etc. but I'm okay with this trade off. IMO, I don't need 4 acres of land in the middle of suburbia or nowhere with nothing to do.
