FB group for anyone else considering leaving: https://www.facebook.com/groups/373683909882919/ I can tell you that Miami would definitely like you here, even our Mayor cosigns: https://twitter.com/FrancisSuarez/status/1100425644968738822

A group of SV VCs have moved to Miami and are in the process of building a whole neighborhood called "Magic City" dedicated to startups and entrepreneurship. It's an opportunity zone, so they're using their stock investments "tax free". A city like Miami has had a very hard time creating a startup ecosystem, many have tried and failed, but it's a matter of time for it to happen. Source: https://magiccitydistrict.com/…

IDK if those are SV VCs but I applaud their effort nonetheless.

The only reason I am still in SV is because I am stuck on H1B. I think having a better immigration system is a Red president's best bet to finally spite the largest Blue state. You need to bring in talented engineers from world over and let them flood boise, Reno, Austin, Sarasota and Denver. See the Silicon Valley crumble.

H1B is not location specific. You are free to work from anywhere in the US you find employment

It is job specific which means I can not go to Texas and take up ranching or just freelance from Reno.
