Here's a tip: move to Austin. 1) No state income tax. Read that again. 2) Cost of living is at least HALF of SF/SV/NYC 3) Real estate is actually affordable, even close in. Now, I know there is the argument for needing to be in SF/SV for startups and tech, but Austin is a hotbed of tech activity and with more and more companies allowing remote work, it's worth a shot.

As a Texan that would love to see more talented engineers and innovative companies here, I agree with you. But we have a weird mix here. Houston and Dallas have the rich people, but Austin has all the nerds. We need more cross pollination of both to ever be as attractive as Silicon Valley. That, and a lot less hardcore conservatives.
