> so many super smart and talented developers in DC

As one of those developers working in DC I can tell without a doubt that the majority of us do it because we get paid a large amount of money.

I make more here than I ever could in Silicon Valley. Plus the cost of living is around half. Last I checked a one bedroom in SF was around $4k per month. I pay just over $2.5k here in DC (with a parking spot!).
