I absolutely agree with you. The scenarios you bring up make perfect sense, and I can see why starting outside of SV/NYC in those cases is the way to go. My main beef with OP is that his whole post has zero nuance and doesn't even look at upsides/downsides. It just preaches his single opinion as the only right way. Just to illustrate how bad it is in my opinion, I got way more useful info on topic out of your single comment than from the whole OP.
