I would love to see more of these. It's surprisingly hard to find good summaries of what life in a city is really like, especially geared toward tech people.

I'd volunteer to provide info on New Orleans, but I don't know enough to put it together myself.

I'd love to see these for a variety of cities. One way to put one together for New Orleans: reach out to other tech people you know there, and collaborate. That's what I did for Atlanta, and I got a much richer set of pros & cons than I would if I had done it independently. The little bit of time spent eliminating dupes and organizing it thematically, was well worth it. If you write one for NOLA, do let me know, and I'll link to it.

I'd also love to see one for Austin, TX. And one for NYC.

David, thanks for putting it together. That was kind of my goal for sweatteamanifesto.com was this kind of information.

Atlanta is an awesome city. I'm surprised I didn't see anything about Amendment 1 in there especially since you got Lance to comment ;)

Yeah, I was surprised about that, too! But a fun mini-project, and shows what banding together can do. Perhaps the best result is writing that post got me to surface from a ton of work I've been doing, and get onto HN! I can pretty quickly tell that there are some awesome people here.

Amendment one is just a symptom. With that your should be able to figure out one of my cons.
