FYI and YMMV, Philadelphia is in my top two places in the US I'd move to run a small software company. (The other is Chicago.) Substantial community of people doing that around N3rd St ("Nerd Street", get it?) Enough local tech firms (Wildbit, Freckle, etc) to achieve a community of practice. Reasonably inexpensive by the standards of big cities. Houses available in quantity.

I'd do Seattle, Berlin, Austin, SLC, Boulder, Prague, Budapest, some German cities, Vancouver, Montreal, Pittsburgh, maybe Boston. I've never really lived in Chicago though, but did spend ~10y in and around Philadelphia. It's better now than in the 80s/90s for sure.)
