Interesting that they don't just move somewhere else. In any case, lower your taxes, reduce state and municipal spending, and reduce state regulation of business. A federal repeal of PPACA would also be very helpful. I can't imagine living in California.

"Somewhere else" in the USA is the difference between "when can I try out your product?" and "you quit your well-paid job at a stable company to DO WHAT?"

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely life, do you really want it to get lonelier?

The concentrations of people who "get" startups in the US is also closely aligned with its expensive cities: SF, NYC, Boston, Seattle, etc.
