I said no to Amazon for this Defense startup. Tons of options, cash, and fringe benefits. I am now, after seven or so years of calling myself a Gay San Franciscan Techie (immigrant) in a position of deciding whether buying a home in San Francisco is opportune seeing that I cannot seem to leave the city and could use the motivation. I have a big percentage of leverage in terms of implied income/cash flow/credit etc. Just don’t know if I’d be better off elsewhere maybe 70 miles upward of SF.

I love Portland, it’s cheaper than here. Seems unexplored, in spite of how eponymous they’ve become. Portland ticks all my boxes. I have family with me here and they do not like the cold weather (we’re from Miami).
