Intriguing. Explain.

I've been studying geography for a few months to try to pick out where the future is. Austin seems a strong candidate. Boston and Seattle could also swing back into #2.

What TX has going for it is that (a) it has a lot of money, (b) it has a lot of smart people, and (c) it's actually not that conservative in the cities. (I grew up in rural PA, so I know all about the fact of red/blue being meaningless, except on a few issues, at a state-by-state level.)

Fifth: Texans do not like leaving Texas. My university colleagues have settled for SQL CRUD jobs in Austin/Dallas. Data science and bioinformatics is a common degree around these parts. They would rather do CRUD than have to leave Texas.

Seems like a great place to move when you're ready to be a founder (i.e. if you can raise money) because there's a lot of talent. However, this would go against people who are looking to be employees, because there's more competition.

Is that an accurate assessment?
