The standard of living is so low here, it blows my mind. Top end engineer? House from the 60's, which people consider "nice".
would be good to know the age demographics
On the other post I posted in response to this article:
I think that maybe more accurate for entry level developers. Housing is an issue to work around for sure.
Seattle - Yes (but also quite expense)
Austin - Yes to a less degree
Portland - Maybe.
All of these are great cities with plenty of dev jobs. You really need a strong CS program to build around if you want think about not moving to Silicon Valley. University of Washington totally fits that bill, as does University of Texas- Austin, but I would have to guess that Portland has a good local university (but I'm not familiar with it from afar like the others)
