Leaving NYC for Nashville
Serious question ... can anyone explain to me why tech needs to be squeezed together in these hyper-expensive cities in the US?<p>I don&#x27;t buy the argument about needing to be close to others ... we are in a connected, high-speed world where anyone can have a &quot;face to face&quot; with anyone else at a moment&#x27;s notice.<p>I have been a software engineer for 25+ years and have avoided SV&#x2F;SA like the plague due to what is mentioned in this article.  When I need to visit a company in SF or NYC, I get on a plane.<p>Remote work gets the job done, and if you are making US software engineer salary but choose to live in a low-cost-of-living area, you are essentially rich.  You can buy as many dishwashers as you want.
