Are there any location based communities for programmers?

For example I'm planning to move to a new city and I want to be able to find answers to my questions, learn what is going on there by browsing on regular basis, get a feed of what software engineers are talking about in that city. Is there such a website?

Basically, I'm looking a site to learn what's software engineers in [San Francisco] talking about. Significant news, tips, advice, discussions on anything.

Tech is tech. Code is code.

I'm sure if we have people on Mars they'll be talking about the same news/tips/advice/discussions we are.

Anytime I move I check out meetup.com You can find a community for nearly any interest under the Sun 5 to x miles from your locale. And, if there isn't, you can create one. In my experience, there is typically a Code for America division or some other general meetup group (Python enthusiasts, Node.js beer night, etc). Your mileage may differ based on the size of the city you're in.
