Aside from the lack of load shedding and decent access to cheap technology and loads of bandwidth... I feel everything else is the same for anyone outside SV. Can't meet deadlines (but that's because everything takes longer than you think it will, even when you account for hoffstadter's (sp?) law) and trying to bootstrap stuff in your spare time is next to impossible. Not impossible, but It's right up there with the most difficult things you could try and do.
