This was my point. Everybody is talking about like-minded individuals and community, but where do you get to interact with them? Only one benefit I can think of is the exposure of talents, but then again you can find talents everywhere. All in all IMO, having startup in silicon valley is highly overrated.

Nice to see someone has my line of thinking. I'm sure we're not alone. It's probably just not trendy to talk about the valley the way we have.

I like it here, a lot, but I find it very hard to find people who actually have the same product building interests. Plenty of people who like the same tools (RoR, iOS, JS, etc) but much more difficult to find people who are as passionate about X and Y as you are.
