If it is something like on GE airplane engine plant in Durham I can understand this.

I spend more time kind of looking at Durham for startups and small consulting firms.

I know you can find rooms in Durham for under $300 a month.

But being a small town with no notable tech industry or universities in the immediate area, it's hard to imagine it becoming a success story like Durham appeared to have.

Engineers could pick from other metro areas, and get fairly close to $100K/year with much lower costs of living (Austin, Dallas, Durham come to mind, there are many more).

Most of the increase is young creative workers who've come for Durham's growing tech and advertising scene.

Telecommuting is available 1-2 days/wk with the rest of your time spent in our awesome downtown Durham, North Carolina office.

NC State is there in Raleigh (and RedHat is on Centennial Campus), Duke is Durham, and UNC-CH in Chapel Hill.

There's really no "wage insecurity" for a decent engineer in NYC, DC area, Seattle, Boston, Raleigh-Durham, etc.

While cost of living is good in NC, here in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Chapel Hill area, it's definitely significantly higher than other places in NC.

Here in small Durham, NC, we've seen biking more than double over the last 6 years.

I think of Austin, Raliegh-Durham or Berlin as examples of comparison than SF or Palo Alto.

There's really no "wage insecurity" for a decent engineer in NYC, DC area, Seattle, Boston, Raleigh-Durham, etc.

I tend to put the Triangle (shorthand for Raleigh, Durham, CH, and RTP) into a "third tier" of tech cities, with SFB/NYC tier 1 and Chicago/Austin as tier 2.

Engineers could pick from other metro areas, and get fairly close to $100K/year with much lower costs of living (Austin, Dallas, Durham come to mind, there are many more)." And have their potential job prospects cut in half or worse.

These structures are being computed, in the manner of a program on a universal Turing machine, using something Durham refers to as "dust" which is a generic, vague term describing anything which can be interpreted to represent information; and therefore, that the only thing that matters is that a mathematical structure be self-consistent and, as such, computable.
