I completely agree. If moving to the Bay Area were an obvious choice, I'd already be there. Honestly, for me the choice of Boston (my current locale) vs Silicon Valley is less about career trajectory and intellectual environment and more about weather - Boston's climate just seems awful to me. The quote was mostly to justify the idea that a lot of LWers might also be thinking of moving to SFBay.

Gotta be honest, if you have more roots and relationships in Boston, you shouldn't move unless there's something you want to do that you can do far better in the Bay Area.

Why do you say that?

Because roots and relationships are important and Boston is a very nice city/metro that can easily compete with SF in terms of culture, cuisine, variety (if not climate) and economy. Even if you're in software, there's plenty of jobs and even startups in Boston.
