I used to say if want to work with the stock market, NYNY. If you want to work in insurance Hartford CT. If you want to be an engineer SF.

However after you have been here a while, you don't need to STAY here to run a small SAS. And unless you KNOW that your going to turn into a unicorn (I hate that term) you probably DONT need to be here.

I agree with that. If you are working on a small, niche technology business living somewhere cheaper is a solid play. Moreover, those people have been raising capital in the last few years and attempting to do pivots to shoot for the moon when they could have a successful business, and this often ends up in disaster as the company is not a unicorn.
