I just got a 250k BitAngels grant for a project I'm working on. I'm in Austin, but I've also been considering a move to a less expensive place as long as it had good broadband and an active developer community. Chattanooga is definitely on the short list.

Just noticed your comment, albeit a few days late. If you have questions about getting started or making connections in Chatt - shoot me an email and we'll try to set some intro's up. Per your ideals, this could be a pretty good place to work on your project. Cost of living will definitely be less than Austin. (although our brisket is not quite as good).
