If you want to give up on your dreams and just get by comfortably then move. Being uncomfortable keeps you hungry and you will strive to earn more money. Being around your peers and people in the tech/startup world will also inspire you and help drive you to success. So it depends what you want in life. However, I have been living in San Fran since 1999 and to me it is the best place on earth and I never want to leave. Ive lived in Texas and other than Austin I am not a fan of Texas. FYI - it gets effen ungodly hot there in the summer
