I agree it is trivially easy to jump ship to another startup every month in SF if you we're so inclined. For entrepreneurs, this culture makes it a challenge to build a lasting company though... the focus employees have in SF & the Valley seems much more short term IMHO. Besides, the safety net alluded to exists in any big city these days. I'm in Dallas and a good developer or designer showing up here today would have several job offers in a few days.
