If by some miracle it would come to Columbus, OH I would be thrilled. We definitely have an underutilized pool of talent here. And plenty of people graduating from Ohio State every year that would prefer not to move.

I visited Columbus on a business trip (from SV) last year, and really, really loved it. Stayed across the street from the conference center, so just on the southern edge of the Short North. Had lots of great nights wandering around to wonderful bars and restaurants, ran along the river at 7 every morning (when the weather was ALMOST tolerable!), and was really lucky that the baseball team was in town so I got to enjoy the perks of a really really nice intimate ballpark for bargain basement prices.

I was still shocked, though, when I looked at the prices of the new condos being built and almost all of them were > $1M. Yeah, I know, it's the very very upper end of what's being built, but it was still surprising :)

Columbus desperately needs some tech employers that are not in the healthcare, banking, or insurance sectors.

As a software developer, it would be nice to be able to get a job in the engineering group, rather than in a standard IT shop.
