Trying to decide where to move again

[benlehman]

I'm trying to decide where to move again.
Options are:
Stay in Seattle
Portland, for a short time
SFBay
NYC
Beijing

With pluses and minuses to each. Thoughts and opinions welcome.

Really I just want to live in an apartment and not worry about food and employment and just design games that people love. But that seems unrealistic at the moment.

For obvious reasons I would vote for the Bay Area, but cost of living here and be hell and CA economy is making it hard for some folks to find jobs.

What're your pros and cons for each, I'm curious?

The advantages of Seattle and Portland is that they're cheap and I can keep trying to get my own projects off the ground.

The advantage of Beijing, NYC, and SFBay is that there's a lot more work in my field.

So those are kinda cross purposes. Really, i just need to figure out what to do with my personal projects.
