> the beauty about the internet is that you don't have to be there to make a good living.

I do hope you're not mistaking the incredible location-agnostic quality of the internet with the incredible location-dependent quality of human relationships.

Don't take real people for granted. IMHO you hugely multiply your chances if you surround yourself with people in the same physical space and can talk, work, play, and drink together. In my experience, the great ideas come when you are away from your computers.

There are a lot of places this can happen—SF, Boston, New York, and more. But I highly encourage you to make physical connections as well as digital ones.

I agree...but I don't have to be living in SF, Boston, New York to create those connections either.
