A Man Who Stood Up To Facebook
<i>Vachani is based in Brazil, where life is more affordable. He flies into San Francisco a lot, though, in an ongoing effort to stay in the tech biz.</i><p>So, open question, how much cheaper does it have to be in Brazil to make it worthwhile to live there because it's cheaper, if you are flying into SF a lot?  I mean, I know SF is expensive, but presumably if you are willing to make ~$600 flights on a regular basis, you would be willing to commute a few hours.  Within two hours of SF, things aren't exactly <i>cheap</i>, but they are cheap relative to SF.  How much cheaper does Brazil have to be (living in at least a moderately sized city) for this to effective, assuming he flies into SF 8 times a year?<p>This of course ignores other reasons he may want to live in Brazil (such as family), because that wasn't how it was presented.
