Anyone else afraid to say exactly where, for fear it might become too popular? :)
Wichita, Kansas. Everyone move to Wichita, it's great. Trust me.
The crafting beer is great there, housing is affordable, crime is non-existent. And Internet is 10GBps full-duplex for each household.
I've been thinking about this a lot. My criteria: - Warm winters - Sunny (>200 avg. sunny days) - Good music scene - Good tech scene (for meeting other founders) - Beautiful nature nearby - Reasonable cost of living - In the US Based on these criteria, I think I've landed on Austin, Texas as the best option. Here are other places I considered, though: - California: L.A. or San Francisco would honestly be my top choic…
I've done extensive business travel in Denver, and, being a CA native, I did not find the winter to be that harsh. In fact, because it's up in the mountains, most of the cold and snow melts away by high noon. You're left with sunny skies until the frost returns at night, but it definitely helps with needing to shovel snow I'd imagine :P

I'm not sure what kind of music scenes you're looking for, but Miami has one of the best for electronic music in the US, as well as probably latin and reggae.
Might be the city I'm currently living in: Albuquerque, NM. It's very inexpensive, and sits at the foothills of the Sandia Mountains and Petroglyph National Park. It's almost always sunny, yet is rarely too hot for outdoor activities. As far as bike infrastructure goes it may just be in the top 10 for US cities. You almost need to go out of your way to not be an outdoorsy person here. It has a decent amount of restau…
If I can work from anywhere in the world, why in all flying hells would I work from a city?
A lot of commenters come from wealthy / well off backgrounds. I agree with you, I like the openness and quiet that rural towns and areas bring. My only requirements are clean water and fast internet. Both of which were a problem in the farm house I grew up. Since moving to a city I’m always marveled at the difference between city water and well water. And now I get internet faster than 25 Mbps, consistently.

I hear New Jersey has better nature anyway.

I've traveled all over europe and my favorite city for living would be Budapest. It seems like it had a low CoL but a very vibrant community in addition to being walkable and beautiful.
Haven't met any Hungarian engineers so I don't know how the developer/startup community is, so if anyone knows chime in.
Tokyo! Pros: - Safe almost everywhere even at night and generally very clean - Infinite amount of things to do, you'll never finish exploring new restaurants (with delicious food) and stores - International events happen there: conferences, concerts, etc. - Very walkable (including the metro), especially around city center - Reasonable housing prices - high, but comparable to cities in the US - Politeness is baked in…
If you count number of bedrooms, but if you look at sq.footage isn't it much much higher than almost anywhere in the US?
