I think it's more referring to compensation. If you're only offering half the pay of some of the alternatives, you're simply not going to get a shot at most of the highest-skilled job seekers. They will, sensibly, tend to go work for the highest-paying employers. Free market for labor and all that.

What about all the skilled software engineers that DON'T want to live in SF.

From what I've seen most startups DO expect you to move to SF, though. They just don't want to pay a competitive salary.

I guess I can see that (to a certain extent), thanks for offering your explanation.
