I have never understood the fascination with San Francisco for tech. I am a senior developer in Arkansas, and cannot imagine having to deal with any of that B.S. I have a mortgage of <$2000 for a 3,600sq ft house on an acre of land with an in-ground pool. My commute is 40 minutes of relaxing country-side when I go into the main office, and about 4 minutes when I work at the remote office. A tech salary of 90k in San Fran ~= 36k in Arkansas when looking at cost of living, plus you can buy a starter home (~1100sq ft) for about ~100k. Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and the list keeps going. Tech professionals should really look outside the normal huge tech city box. I personally believe that is where most will find happiness.
