I'm not a freelancer but it's not that hard to find a dev job in most major cities. I was living in SF and moved to NY. Reasons include: - Getting out of the state I had spent my whole life in until that point. California is a great state, but I don't think I would have been happy with myself if I had never lived outside it for a significant amount of time. - Moving to a city that doesn't hate tech (as much). Here, there are plenty of other industries assisting with gentrification, so we don't get singled out. - Public transit is passable here. - I originally came for a Recurse Center batch. They just moved to Brooklyn, and I live a 5 min walk from the location. I miss my friends back home and being near all the nature that CA has, but overall it's a pretty good life here.
