San Francisco headquarters to Huntsville, Alabama last year, they thought he was crazy. About 20 of his employees quit because they didnt want to relocate. It was very controversial, said Thieblot, who had lived and run the company out of San Francisco for at least five years. A lot of people did not like me for that decision. But today, the profitable, 110-person person company operates out of an Alabama city with a population of just under 200,000 people and the highest number of Ph.Ds per square mile given Huntsvilles history with NASA as the nations Rocket City.

People sometimes think they could improve the startup scene in their town by starting something like Y Combinator there, but in fact it will have near zero effect. I know because Y Combinator itself had near zero effect on Boston when we were based there half the year. The people we funded came from all over the country (indeed, the world) and afterward they went wherever they could get more funding—which generally meant Silicon Valley.

Paul Graham thinks SV is a better place to raise a family than Cambridge?

Cambridge must SUCK!!

Or is it that Graham have his kids enrolled in top private schools and expensive after school programs, well away from the riffraff?
