I'm fully remote now, and am currently still in the bay area (used to work in SF), but planning to move to the Sacramento area by next year.
Why Sacramento? 1) Wife and I still have family members in the bay area and we'd like to stay within driving distance, 2) Still get to enjoy California weather, without the possibility of a 8.0+ earthquake looming over our heads, 3) Better school for our kid while spending less than half the amount to buy a house vs similarly good school districts in the bay area, 4) I'm not very into snow, which eliminates much of the northern half of the country as candidate cities to choose. If I'd also like to avoid hurricanes, tornadoes, and huge earthquakes, that eliminates most of the country. The Greater Sacramento area actually fits that bill.
