I have the good fortune of being in a low cost of living city that's also a real, wonderful city: Montreal. Excellent place to start and scale a solopreneur business.
Currently scaling up my business processes (accounting, support, etc.) which increases business costs. I'd be very wary of moving anywhere more expensive until I've increased revenue to match. (This shouldn't be a problem – outsourcing the backend processes will let me move on several revenue generating projects I've been deferring while dealing with a backlog of administrative stuff)
