Anecdotal, but I know people who live in SF who would rather be back in Myrtle Beach, SC - as soon as there's a similar opportunity or a remote work opportunity for them.
The quality of life and work-life balance is not in SF for them.
wyclif: I agree that more companies will solve this problem with distributed, remote teams - which is what we're leveraging to attract those folks to the Beach. http://WhyNotTheBeach.com http://WhyNotTheBeach.com
- coops 13y agoFunny to see this post pop up in a thread about how dysfunctional SF city government is. Myrtle Beach is effectively governed by an oligarchy of property development families.
- jessaustin 13y agoI've never lived in either city, but while I've certainly heard a fair bit about San Francisco's idiosyncrasies, I have basically no impression of Myrtle Beach at all. In your estimation, what aspects of MB are as bad as the complaints I see about SF, and how do those stem from the governance model you describe?
- coops 13y agoThis is a terrible question so I'm not going to answer it, but if you are interested in reading about the corrupt history of Myrtle Beach (and the greater Grand Strand area) I strongly recommend Will Murdock's Banana Republic: A Year in the Heart of Myrtle Beach. http://www.amazon.com/Banana-Republic-Heart-Myrtle-Beach/dp/0972382909/ http://www.amazon.com/Banana-Republic-Heart-Myrtle-Beach/dp/...
- jessaustin 13y agoWell, no, I'm not actually interested enough to do the homework you've assigned me. I guess I'll just have to take your unsupported assertions about Myrtle Beach at face value.
