$5000/mo won't pay salary for one mid-grade programmer in flyover country. The important thing isn't the current value, it's the rate of growth (and the increase in the rate of growth).

Just FYI "flyover" is a really horrible patronizing elitist term and should be avoided at all costs.

I grew up in Minnesota, and lived there for 21 years, and I refer to the Midwest as such all the time.

Believe me, I know. I've lived in flyover country my entire life (central Illinois, Iowa, and now Minnesota).

C'mon -- flyover not that bad. Irksome perhaps, but not offensive.
