Wow! Lots of responses. Thanks everyone. To address a few points:
1) We're a software company delivering an ASP oriented product, so remote developers is a challenge, as it is a HIGHLY collaborative atmostphere with meetings and whiteboards 3 times a week. We would most certainly consider telecommuters if we could - its not a trust issue, its just not practical to have remote devs. 2) We pay very competitively - we've even gotten devs through recruiters and they demand competitive salaries. We do not over pay - but we most certainly do not underpay. 3) I think LA is a desolate non-techy place coupled with the fact CF is a small language in the big scheme. My guess is if we were Java or .Net, this wouldnt be an issue. 4) LA yes is an expensive place to live, but in many areas cheaper than DC and most certainly cheaper than SF or NYC. I used to live in NYC and DC and can vouch for this. LA can be $2500 for a 1 BR or $1000 depending on your neighborhood - and none of those choices are "the 'hood". And living near the beach in this sunny weather is like getting a raise anyway. Thanks again to everyone and wish me a collective good luck.... And of course, if anyone wants to move to LA, we do offer a relocation package :) Anyway - thanks to everyone for your thoughts...
