My girlfriend and I discussed moving to San Francisco recently - I love where I am from (glad you heart the region as well), but sometimes the region`s relative smallness presents barriers that I feel may not be so prevalent in a place like California (which makes sense seeing as how there are more people in that state than Canada - or close to it).
I am hoping even something as simple as a coworking space will help connect us to others that want to stay here and make things happen though - so I am hopeful. Should things not work out, you may very well see me walking through your door someday. But it would definitely be nice to flip that and you walk through our door someday for a visit! Cheers P.S. I was so excited to announce my plans in my last post I never introduced myself, my name is Rob MacArthur - I love music and will push the ideas of entrepreneurship, innovation and creative destruction on anyone willing to listen (I will also push local music if given the chance - see: http://www.aquietrevolution.com/).
