Lets’s do one of those “Where should I live now?” / “Look at this affordable idyllic house on Zillow!” threads that excludes places where I’d get told to “go back to where you came from!” or get called something worse.

So where are the best towns for Asians in Tech to live?
I’ll start: the SF Bay Area.

Is Seattle better? New York? London? gasp LA?
All are HCOL, though some better than SF.
