Landlords are trying not to rent to startups in San Francisco

Boulder is weird... I was all set to go there, and got a better offer in Bend, Oregon, which is significantly cheaper in terms of housing. I'm kind of happy about how it turned out. I didn't like the idea of turning over such a large portion of my paycheck to a landlord.

Things are not cheap here in Bend, but I have more of a feeling of getting in earlier, while things are still growing.

I loved Bend when I visited a decade ago. It has a lot of the benefits of Boulder plus an ocean not too far away (but further from an airport and major metropolitan area).

Didn't seem like much business was happening when I visited, though (other than tourism).

Is there a tech scene now?

Yeah - it's small, but seems to be taking off.

I had some doubts about moving back to the US from Italy, but so far we're really happy in Bend. We'll see how the winter goes.

How was the tech environment in the portion of Italy you were in?
