A upcoming study of the quality of life in the top seven high-tech areas will have Raleigh/Durham coming in first, and "silicon valley" coming in dead last. RD had the lowest unemployment and taxes of all things!

Excerpt:
In the seven categories examined, Silicon Valley ranked no higher than six. When it came to housing affordability, only San Diego did worse.
• Raleigh-Durham ranks first among the eight regions overall, thanks to its low cost of housing, easy commutes, good schools, and low unemployment and taxes.
• While all the tech regions were hit hard by the downturn, Silicon Valley continues to struggle with the highest unemployment rate.
• While Silicon Valley eighth-grade students have some of the best math test scores in California, the state as a whole ranks last in the list.
• Silicon Valley still has the second-highest tax rates, tied with San Diego and behind only Boston.
