These factors should also be listed... which would further deepen the interest in this Survey.. :) and will make it more realisitic...

Thanks for sharing. It appears that if you want to make a lot of money, go where there's a lot of competition. You're competitors actually help you. If you're a journalist, live where there's a lot of reporting going on. If you're a graphic designer live where there's a lot of tech thought leaders. If you're a creative (writer, producer, director) go where there everybody is one. Same would hold true for a business. For example a printing business and all of it's ancilliary busineses (bindery, die casters, mailing houses, etc) make more money when zoning encourages all printers to be in a single block.
