The ones I know mostly moved back to near where their parents live, because childcare and housing in SF are expensive. If they could have e.g. taken their rent-control with them from a 1-bedroom to a 2-bedroom apartment, or had better family leave and subsidized daycare, I get the impression a good proportion would have stayed for at least several more years.
