Nevada County, California. Not really that far from the Bay Area.

Bandwidth is currently spotty -- your best bet is Comcast in their small and crowded service areas -- but a local ISP has secured funding for a large last-mile fiber deployment and I think they've either just broken ground or are about to.

It's beautiful here, you can get to the store and back in 5 minutes, you can go to Tahoe or to Sacramento for the day, and, seriously, it seems like everyone is always doing at least three cool things.

We're pretty high-tech for a rural county too, and we're actively recruiting tech companies to come up here.

If someone's seriously interested in relocating, contact me. I'm pretty plugged-in to the folks pulling strings to make it happen.
