I'm saying that the reason you think Rochester sucks is because people just complain about Rochester sucking without actually doing anything to improve the situation. Silicon Valley isn't great because of its location, it's because of its people. In other words, if you don't like like it in Rochester, either make it better (support local tech organizations, be proud to showcase work in Rochester, etc) ... or just leave. Complaining isn't going to do anything.
