It's where I grew up so density of family is a big reason not to move. Social policy in places like Germany does sound like a better overall deal than what we have in the US, hopefully we can shore things up here because most people don't even really have the option to move even if they wanted to.
Yeah sorry, I was assuming 'tech worker' and 'enough money to choose where to live' in that statement which I guess doesn't apply to everyone, but I suspect applies to the majority of HN users..
