Ask HN: I want to start a startup. Should I stay in San Francisco?

I’m at a point in my career where I now have the technological experience, savings, network, and idea that I believe I can finally head out on my own and create my own company.

That was the goal when I moved to this city a few years ago. However, things have changed, people have relocated, and I feel the QOL in the city has gone down.

My question is simply: does it make sense to stay in San Francisco if I wish to start a technology company? Would moving away diminish my chances of success? Are the long touted factors of pools of talent and proximity to investors still at play?

I’d love to hear your opinion.
