As someone currently living in the Midwest/South. I love how spoiled I am with my low cost of living in a relatively under-exploited quirky/cool/hip destination.

If I knew a secret to get better tech jobs out here, I would do it yesterday. (If someone wants a technical cofounder in an interesting location, let me know. ;)

With so many of my friends on the West Coast, I feel the siren song myself, and it's tough to combat network effects.
