Yeah, but then you have to live in one of the most authoritarian states in
the US. Not that California is better, but at least it has nice weather
(and most of my immediate family).

It's nice to see Silicon Valley getting some competition, though. It's
starting to get hard to convince people to move here with the cost of
living, so the more different places tech companies start to locate, the
better for the cost of living in each of them. Of course, one could call me
biased since Google has offices worldwide, so the difficulty getting people
to move to the Bay Area hurts Bay Area only companies a lot more than it
hurts Google. (I don't say "us" because I want to make it clear I do not
speak for Google in any way.)
