YC used to do one batch in CA and one out east each year. I see they've moved both summer and winter to the west coast now. Was it that hard to get established in two places that even they couldn't do it?

It was because Paul and Jessica were having a kid, and it's disruptive to a child (not to mention quite a hassle) to shuttle between two coasts every 6 months. Palo Alto won out as the nice neighborhood to raise a family in. When YC discontinued the Boston SFP, it was still largely run by the original founders and didn't have many (any?) additional partners.
