Although humanity is gigantic, individual human beings are incredibly small. Super-small I should say. Life satisfaction is incredibly dependant upon what happens in the very immediate proximity: I call this the H.H.R. rule (housing, health, relationships). Moving to SV your health should remain the same, but you'll have smaller housing, and you'll leave behind all your relationships, so you'll have no support system and no family so that's already a huge minus, in order to compensate for that people usually turn to friendship and other type relationships, but good luck finding them in SV while you are working like a maniac to fundraise and get your company off the ground. Your employees can't and won't ever be relationships. Maybe in other parts of the country, but not in SV, entrepreneurs see them as costs and employees see entrepreneurs as authority figures to manouver around to work the minimum as they possibly can. Did I mention the skewed gender ratio? SV is a giant battlefield and everybody knows that it's a ginat battlefield and also everybody knows that everybody knows that it's a giant battlefield. People go there to figtht and landgrab. My suggestion is to take advantage of how small you are and be extremely focused on curating your H.H.R. EDIT: If you can't push back the strong desire to see how does it feel to be a millionaire you could travel further south towards Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Nicaragua , Ecuador...South Africa, Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand are also honorable mentions. You'll be a de-facto millionaire on a Purchasing-Power-Parity basis, and you'll be having too much of a blast to even care about what Peter Thiel said or what maniac Elon Musk tweeted about.
