Cheaper does not always mean a desirable place to live. This question somewhat assumes that all places to live are created equal.

  As someone who lives in an uncool but vibrant metropolis, I think people from more well known coastal cities vastly underestimate how much... world there is out there. I know many Californians would shudder at the prospect of moving to Houston, but it's actually a progressive, vibrant place with lots of cool stuff to do. Don't like Houston? That's fine. There's a hundred other cities to choose from. What's that fallacy where you overestimate something's value because you paid a lot for it?

    Sunk cost fallacy maybe?

    I'd say it is a bit of a gold rush. There is tough a certain point where things become vastly more difficult. Here in Poland it is below 200k people of working age apparently in roughly 50km radius. Less than that, bigger business doesn't want to invest, educational opportunities, work opportunities, transit suffers etc.

    To be clear, I think anyone living in the Bay Area must be nuts. But, then again, I think anyone living in big cities is nuts. Give me fresh air and neighbors you can't see any day.
