Yeah I agree.
But being in the Bay Area helps a lot.
If I move to Myrtle Beach, would I be surrounded by people like me who are into startups or will I be one of the few?
It is not even the local resources or quality of life. San Francisco is a poorly-run city. Startups and entrepreneurship, however, thrives in spite of it.
For better or worse, the mindset of the people living in the Bay Area sets it apart. That is something that is hard to recreate.
- LogicX 13y agoThis is one of the unique opportunities I see about Myrtle Beach: There are so many professional, successful, educated northerners - both young professionals and retirees, which are moving to the area, that they're bringing the mindset with them. They come here looking for the same like-minded folks; and they're finding it due to the # of transplants. Yes, for now you'd be one of the few who are into startups. But that was also the case in Boston when I first moved there in 2006 (albeit not starting /as/ small), and I was able to watch the startup community grow and thrive over the next 6 years
