Yeah, that's a dealbreaker for some people. I don't mind much - my wife wouldn't mind being a bit closer to somewhere larger.
On the other hand, I live 10 minutes by bike from work and pay 1000 less a month than I would have for something further out from downtown Boulder. So we only have one car, rather than two, resulting in more savings.
I could easily imagine living in Boulder if I were younger and wanted a more outdoorsy alternative to the bay area - there is a lot of tech stuff going on there.
