Boston area.

Pros: Great suburbs to raise a family, small, people from all over, close to Europe, diverse opportunities (not just tech), relatively safe, bike paths, green, beach in the summer, more sunshine than Seattle, plenty of water, NH, Vermont, and Maine in the north.

Cons: Harvard, food (good cafes, shitty restaurants), expensive, windy and cold in the winter (not much snow though), rains all year, Boston the city sucks.
