What location to set up pod desk

Seeing more and more PMs who are,  to some degree,  allowed to work from anywhere. 

florida has seen some influx for obvious reasons.  Are there any recommended locations (can be globally) that offer a better tax deal than NY,  lower cost of living and where English is still the 1st language in town?  UK sucks on all fronts,  income levels in Canada seem low,  maybe Switzerland (language barrier though)?

I would stay on the Eastern Time Zone or close to it. A few options:

Nashville - Tax Advantages, Direct Flights, Good Weather, Outdoor Activities

Florida - Obvious reasons. Naples or Tampa are good options with an airport.

Charleston - Not as tax friendly but could be worth a look.

Texas - Dallas would be a nice option

Biggest drawback to pods in these and other areas is getting junior talent to move with you if you want them in person. Not many 26 year olds want to leave NY for the south if they have family ties, a relationship, etc especially given lack of options if pod blows up

 


Funnily enough I’m a junior analyst trying to stay in LO or L/S equities and trying to find a place in the southeast to move to (Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, etc.) but there isn’t anyone or anything out there except for a handful of funds (already scrubbed all 13f filers and made introductions to a bunch but none are recruiting at the moment). Just patiently looking hopefully
