How many software developer jobs do you need?  1222 sounds like it would provide quite a bit of choice.  Plus, there&#x27;s probably fewer people looking for those jobs in Portland.  Not to mention the fact that the salary is 20% higher in SF, but rent is 60% higher in SF [1].  I&#x27;d say that&#x27;s a pretty big win for Portland.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.numbeo.com&#x2F;cost-of-living&#x2F;compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+States&amp;city1=San+Francisco%2C+CA&amp;country2=United+States&amp;city2=Portland%2C+OR" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.numbeo.com&#x2F;cost-of-living&#x2F;compare_cities.jsp?coun...</a>
