I used to live in South Florida (Ft Lauderdale area) and it has so many advantages: warm-to-hot weather year round, plenty of water based recreation, zero income taxes, great dining and entertainment, growing but still reasonable housing prices...
Yet I still moved to the crowded and insane Bay Area because jobs. In FL I was always running that risk that if my current job didn’t work out I’d have few remaining options. And in today’s tough hiring market, where you have to apply to 100 jobs to get 10 interviews to get 1 offer, having few employers around is a massive risk. It’s why I’m forced to stay out in the SF area.

Today's hiring market is tough? I don't know what sector you're in but I think most people would say it's a developer's market at the moment. 2009 was horrible by comparison.
