Any thought to adding weather? I was in Seattle for two years for a startup and the gloom almost killed me.

Any thought to adding weather? I was in Seattle for two years for a startup and the gloom almost killed me.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoPhoenix or tuscon have lots of sunshine.
- myblake 12y agoTucson is really nice in a lot of ways, it doesn't have walkability though which is one of the main components used in the analysis. If it's just a proxy for a certain type of city culturally (as I suspect it is) then in some ways Tuscon could fit the bill reasonable well with much better weather. SF has pretty great weather if you're comparing it to the East Coast, too bad the affordability data is clearly stale.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoMore reasonable places in the higher desert: Salt Lake City, Santa Fe, and if you don't mind some snow...Jackson Hole. Only SLC has jobs...oh and there is Denver also. My dream is to live in Jackson Hole, but I think you need to be rich.
- dmishe 12y agoBut summer is so nice :)
- will_work4tears 12y agoAustin seems the obvious choice. Of course it's hotter than hell there, humid, and you probably have to have an eye out for Tornados. Personally if I had to pick anywhere but the Seattle area (perfect for me, the gloom doesn't effect me like it does others), it'd have to be either SLC or Boulder/Castle Rock (both near Denver). SF is probably better climate, IMO, and the idea appeals to me, but the cost of living combined with the traffic... no thanks. Seattle traffic is above what I consider acceptable, SF would kill me.
- davidw 12y agoBoulder and Ft. Collins look pretty good in my book: there's a fair amount of sunshine even though it gets cold, universities, not too big, lots of outdoor stuff, and decent tech scenes.
