> Denver's got enough of a tech scene to support salaries in that range without fuss or lack of interesting work, so you're not harming your career prospects by moving here.
Doesn't that depend on what "tech" and "career" we're talking about?
> There's great weather and a laid back culture that is surprising given that many in Denver identify as "Midwesterners" - a term I associate with negative qualities that I've not found here.
"my neighbors aren't the hicks that I expected" is an "interesting" thing to say. (Then again, I don't think that "midwesterners" has negative connotations.)
BTW "six figures" covers 100k to 999k, so it's not all that useful for comparing real estate prices. (While SF is considerably more pricy than Denver, you don't have to spend $1M to get good stuff in SF.)
Note that SF is close to SV. What'd Denver close to that compares? How about the east bay?
I'd argue that SF is the tail, not the dog, albeit a damn fine tail. Even if you think that SF is "it", you can't discount the value of the surrounding areas in any comparisons.
