Anecdata here. I just rented out my house in Austin last week. We had 14 people vying to sign a lease, and several wanted to bid above the price we are renting for. The real sticker - 10/14 were moving from SF/LA/NY because t

A lot of people are coming from cleaner places, and those places aren't necessarily big cities. Rather, suburbs and rural areas.

That's my point. It's a matter of perspective whether or not you find SF dirty. If you come from a cleaner place, you're going to feel like it's dirty. Berlin isn't much cleaner, and there is a homeless problem too

It's a matter of perspective. Coming from Boston or Copenhagen, SF feels like an extremely dirty and grimy city. So does Berlin. Parks in Berlin are littered with beer bottles and cigarette butts because smoking and drinking in public

It's less about the safety net and more about re-entering your career at a similar level. In Germany you'd be hard pressed to explain why you took two years off of your career and now want to come back. Re Europeans traveling arou

I grew up in Boston and lived in NYC for 4 years. Never learned how to drive until 2 weeks ago (age 29) when I moved to... Los Angeles.

Issue #2, that slack is based on synchronous communication, is something that is always ignored. Sometimes I log in to slack and see a conversation that I want to add something to, but it is 4 hours old with 50+ new messages on varying topi

Industry level salaries are important. In addition to that, how do you create an environment that people want to work in for the next 10 years? I think remote work is a big incentive. Maybe capping work hours at 40/week. That makes peo

You used Otto as an example. It was acquired by Uber for $680M. Doesn't that mean company names might be less important than you think? I purchased powwowjs.com (js because it's a javascript embedded app) for $40 after spending 15

I don't speak German. In Berlin it's not a big problem, particularly in certain neighborhoods where even waiters at restaurants may not speak German.

This is misleading. Income of up to $101,300 is excluded. Also, tax credits are given if the amount you pay in the country you live in is higher than what you would have been paid in the US. Given that a salary of $101k in Europe is unlikel
