amen to this. With the money startups manage to pull in you can find a very nice town to settle in and absolutely pamper your staff - and still have lower costs than SF or nyc. A particularly good selling point for getting the more experienced developers with family. Come work for us in friendly brattleboro Vermont! (I've been there, it's like Gilmore girls in real life). Bonus if you're within train distance of the city you can get the best of all worlds.
