My wife and I spent some time in the Bay Area in our twenties. It was nice and I'm glad we did it, but I am so happy that we moved back to a small town in Ohio before beginning to raise a family. SF is a nice place to visit, but Ohio is home. It definitely helps that programming can be done remotely, but I think I'd still prefer it here, even if it meant working for a local shop at half my current salary.
