Switzerland vs Silicon Valley for Software Developers

Personally, I'd rather avoid both SV and CH and just live in Texas.

$1/sq. ft. ($10.76/m²) is still the norm in Dallas, and it's not too hard to find cheaper. You would pay less money for a decent-size house in the suburbs of Dallas than the cheapest 1-bedroom apartment in SV or Zurich.

Are you seriously considering an extremely boring and bland US metropolis to living in country that is the middle of Alps ?

Austin is also still amazingly well priced compared to the salaries you can pull there, especially against SF or Zurich.

I don't think I could stand Texas. I don't like heat and I hate having to deal with commuting.

Also I abhor the politics of the state and region, in general.

Same. I'll stay in Texas with my $75k 3-bedroom house and no state taxes.
