Pittsburgh is pretty much all of those. Insanely cheap housing (I pay $400 for a 2br - with no roommate, just me.) Access to the best young talent around (Pitt, Carnegie Mellon, + numerous other schools). Relatively low crime rate, and it's named the best city to live in fairly often.

The only downside is the weather, which isn't that bad in the winter -- certainly much better than Detroit or Boston.

Interesting. I wonder if the tech grads would be willing to stick around if a start up culture took root.
