Rents ARE astronomical here.  Also, commuting would take a while,
and I don't think your employer would pay your commuting expenses.
Perhaps did you post to the wrong newsgroup, and with the wrong distribution?

Suggestion:  Computer science and other technical ideas should have "world"
distribution (which for some reason doesn't happen often enough), and local
for-sale, for-rent, etc. items should have local distribution.
