If I wasn't in tech I'd prefer to tough it out in some small town in some "backwards" state.

Better to be marginally less wealthy and free to live how I want than run the race by the rules of some coastal city for little benefit.

It doesn’t have to be about coastal vs inland. It’s more about growth vs stagnation.

Be careful about romanticizing the idea of rural life if you haven’t already done it. It’s nothing special in my experience.
