- dmode 10y agoWouldn't that only be a temporary thing, before tech salaries drive up cost of living ? Surely, Seattle was not very expensive a few years back
- radicality 10y agoEven if it's temporary, it's still beneficial for the temporary time. Maybe you could also purchase a house in that area, and later on have it appreciate.

- Apocryphon 10y agoIdeally, the next SV is literally Anywhere, Earth, what with the promise of remote work. Which is a dream deferred for decades. Maybe VR/AR is the tech innovation that's required for finally making this a reality? Virtual office spaces? As dehumanizingly detached from the real world that could be, at least you'd be doing so from the comfort of your own home.
