I agree. More and more often you see people choosing a mix of both. Living in a big city when their product requires it, going abroad when they need more focus, or when their in a development stage that enables it. You don't have to be in the same place all the time anymore :)

Yep, I live deep in the mountains and travel to cities when I need to. Works well. Better than anything I did before anyway. It also gives a good perspective on what happens when you fail; nothing.

A mix of both is optimal IMHO and even somewhat dream-like situation but today (more than ever before) it IS possible.
