My personal pick is South Lake Tahoe. No state income tax, 3.5 hr drive to SF, commercial airport, and stunningly beautiful. Heck, a lot of SV/SF bigshots already have vacation homes in the area.
- tracker1 13y agoExactly... There are lots of really nice locations all across the country that seem to be far more attractive options to a startup wanting to draw in talent.
- joonix 13y agoHow are you going to convince people to move a rural area where they know nobody just to work for your startup that might not be around in a year? All to save what, $1,000 a year? How are the schools in Tahoe? Vacation homes, exactly. Lifestyle business guys, freelancers, writers, yeah of course. But trying to found the next Google in Tahoe doesn't make sense unless there's already a major "anchor" tech company in place there.
- 727374 13y agoIf you're trying to start the next Google, by all means you should move to Mountain View and put it all on the line. Someone could easily save $20k a year between lower rent (1500/mo vs 2500/mo) and lack of CA state income tax (9k?).
