It seems like the sweet spot is around the middle of the list - places like Dallas, Atlanta, Denver, Salt Lake City, etc. Good salaries and lower cost of living than California, but you will have all the quality of life features of a bigger city.

Grassroots organizing is dead. Nowadays you have a bunch of groups funded by ridiculously wealthy foundations and donors who are chasing the ghost of grassroots organizing which has been dead for years.

A solid 70% of our funding comes from large foundations. We pick an issue, get people fired up on social media about it, then call it grassroots just because a bunch of people supported it.
