This is actually a good article/video. It highlights the pros of NY and SF.<p>That being said, coming from the midwest and now living in the valley --- if you're going to put it all on the line then you want every advantage you can get. Being in Silicon Valley is one advantage you should really consider not passing up.<p>Unless, of course you're doing something with record labels (LA) or financial companies (NY)....the valley wins as far as location goes.
