We have the same problem in Tampa Bay Area...an immense amount of talent, but we lose too many who move on to the bright lights of NYC, Chicago, and LA.
The downside of this area is a population that just doesn't get out and go to the bars and venues that are hiring local musicians. IOW, the number of talented musicians is growing much faster than the audience. On a positive note, this situation hasn't created a rivalry, and most of the bands and musicians work together to support each other. And there are some Angels in the area who really support local music, and very few sharks as there's little money to fight over.
