Thanks for putting in the time and effort to this post. I basically agree with your recommendations. Keeping the central hub in the Bay is the obvious default and if we try otherwise there’s a good chance the community just stops existing. I like Boston and think it could be pretty exciting to all move there and would join in that effort. I would also join in an effort to move to the South Bay from Berkeley, because it’s just nicer and cheaper there.
Niche point, but I want to mention that I thought Vaniver’s comment on Wei Dai’s post was excellent, where he talked about not trying to time the market. Basically, if you think that your country is going to explode in 10 years, the correct action is not to try to time it so that you leave in 9 years and 11 months, you shouldn’t try to time it at all and should just leave now. If I were convinced the US was going to explode sometime in the coming decade I would indeed leave now, but I’m not at all convinced.
