If you're tired of SF proper, but the rest of the Bay Area is fine for you and you still want the best tech jobs in large numbers, move to the Peninsula, East Bay, or San Jose.
If you want great tech jobs, slightly lower living costs, and don't mind dreary weather, go to Seattle.
If you want to stay in an urban area with a lot of tech jobs and don't mind high living costs and cold winters, go to NYC.
If you want amazing weather, very few tech jobs, a great nightlife, but don't mind a high living cost, go to LA.
If you want hot weather, decent tech jobs, and lower living costs all around, go to Austin.
There are other options besides these, depending on how much you are willing to trade off having lots of job opportunities, weather, living costs, and other quality of life stuff. Politics and racial diversity may also be pretty different from city to city, so decide how important that is to you.
I don’t think you’ll find Atlanta a tech hub on par with SF, though there are great jobs here. If you do choose to live here I wouldn’t live in the northern suburbs of Atlanta. It’s strip malls and Trumpers. The fascists in the city at least have sense enough not to advertise it with lawn signs. In the suburbs they are proud of it.
Not surprised I got downvoted for this. I think it's disingenuous and unintellectual the way people who have opposing views are characterized as being in one extreme or the other. People with nuanced views on the right are called 'fascists' and people with nuanced views on the left are called 'socialists'.
Why are we letting these extreme and simplified viewpoints about political "others" have any influence in our culture? Why not shame this tribalist behavior and push it out of our societies so we can have nuance without walking on eggshells? Unfortunate.
“Being born inside doesn’t help you get back in, and pretty much everyone of any race, religion, or national origin can get in as long as they either have a job lined up inside or pay enough based on the time they wish to stay”?
I’m pretty sure no one voted for Trump because they want borders to work like they do at Disneyland.
Indianapolis is not bad, is driving distance to a variety of larger cities and is quite inexpensive. I ended up here by accident but am not motivated to leave, YMMV.
This opens the Mexico City as a fantastic option which is very affordable for someone with a US salary.
