Not california or new york. On a secondary level, not seattle or other places seeing a big housing crunch. Something where the average house is the same as the average house cost as the rest of the USA, ~$250k
Austin, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Las Vegas
These are all amazing cities and for some reason tech companies choose to locate in San Francisco over these places... It honestly boggles my mind.
How about 25th-75th percentile housing prices? Software opportunities are currently concentrated in places with 90th-99th percentile costs.
