Interesting events

Working on actually interesting things

Availability of tech jobs

Good scenery

Lots of places to exercise

Somewhat decent medical specialists which don't exist outside of a couple of major metro areas in the US

Startup investment which is hard to get if you don't live here, but if you do take it they also expect you to pay yourself barely enough to live

Good Asian supermarkets and overall decent food

There is some basic disfunctional public transit here which doesn't exist in most of the US; US cities with good transit are equally expensive
