As a place to live you might be right, but as an industry (in my case) I'm finding it more attractive in the sense that I always meet people (mostly online) that are building new things, that are experimenting with new ideas and trying to break conventional schemes. Today if I wanted I could move back to my country and I would have almost the same amount of work working remotely. I live in CA and most of my clients are local & I never meet most of them in person. There's an interesting trust that wasn't here before. 2 years ago, even if you presented an amazing resume they would still want to see your face, today 20% of the cases do that. Again this is from my perspective.
