I think it is but the edge is slipping. If you're willing to do freelancing / consulting you can work your way up to US prices in Europe or with more effort in Asia.

I would be interested in hearing what place might eventually (or now) be the US but better.

The US I grew up in felt a little more naviely optimistic and ambitious which I would like to find more of.

Lately it seems like I mostly meet extremely capable people who have access to massive capital and they choose to live a quiet life and retire rather than build stuff. Which is fine...but not what I'm looking for.

India seems like a compelling possibility. Maybe Nigeria in a couple years?

It's worth pointing out too how much this depends on city too.

SF used to be the place that still had all that stuff but I've heard it's pretty tough to live there now.
