Ben, I have to agree with the other replies. I live in Tampa Florida in a beautiful home that I couldn't dream of owning in LA or NYC. I moved down here from NYC for that very reason. Also, I think people just aren't as willing to move themselves and their families for a job; especially with two income families.
I currently have a local contract, but I have telecommuted in the past both locally and nationally, and will again. It's the wave of the future (if not the present) in the programming world. Why not use telecommuters, when we email or IM each other from two cubicles away when we are in the same office; what's the difference.

Hey Everyone This is not a job posting- just a frustrated question. A year ago my company could post a CF job ad and get tens of responses. Now we post one and get 2 or 3 bad resumes. Now I realize that myspace has snatched up a lot of the CF'ers in Los Angeles, but could they really have gotten them all? We have tried this board, Craigslist, monster, dice - you name it - its just slim pickins. We pay competitively and have a growing company and compelling product. Any tips? Help appreciated!
