Some business plans will benifit a lot from being in a specific location; however if you currently live in a city with friends, family, and maybe a SO with a job starting right where you are until at least you hit MVP isn't a bad idea. I'm personallly biased towards lower cost areas, the same funding slug buys you more runway. Being in michigan I'd say Detroit ISN'T on my top list of cities to start in, I find Ann Arbor to be more expensive but offers better quality of life and is right next to a major univeristy. Grand Rapids is cheaper, and has StartGarden.com that is trying to build a whole ecosystem.
