Having been to all these towns, I have to agree with him that Seattle has the best beer scene in the US.

Maybe it is because it is right next to Portland. :)

He didn't actually say that.

And yet, the best beer in the country comes from Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Great point about SF being an echo-chamber. I live in Singapore and the burgeoning startup scene here has started to feel like an echo-chamber too.

Meanwhile, here in Minneapolis (really could apply to any upper Midwest city like Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, etc.):

Pros:

- If you like seasons, you get them.

- Excellent beer. Many bars. Great nitelife.

- Clean. No poop on the streets, even in the worse parts of the city.

- Great public transportation (except Milwaukee).

- Cheap rent (2BR for $1500 along the river with a view of the skyline)

- Many excellent CS departments in-state and in the states surrounding. (UW-Madison, UIUC, UMN)

Cons:

- Tech scene is slowly simmering. Madison's is growing like a weed, but elsewhere it's quite slow.

- Not as much outdoorsey stuff to do as in the Pacific Northwest, but there's still enough to do (skiing, fishing, hiking, biking, etc. -- just not on 14kfoot mountains)

What are your guys' opinions about LA? Coming from Singapore it's a huge step up, but I'm sure SF is far crazier.
