Ask HN: Do you live in lesser known, cheaper, less crowded places?

Your post title says "lesser known", but it seems like you're really looking for non-tech areas which are normally less crowded. I would argue that most people would opt for more pay or better benefits or other things that are important when choosing a new position rather than just the city.

For example - I would like to live in SF, but I assume I would need to have a house mate...which isn't something I would want.

If someone is working remote (I do, at least for the time being), they might have more choice to choose a location. That is what prompted this question.

I am also not in favor of house mate

Ah I see - working remote would be nice, but that would also not check one of the boxes of employment for me.

I _really_ enjoy being surrounded by intelligent people while working, and being able to bounce ideas off of them and working on a team. (I also enjoy working alone once I'm in the zone too)

Good remote first companies support this. It's different though. I certainly respect your preference.
