I started working remote 2 years ago. Last year I moved to the Greater Sacramento area. I grew up in the bay area and worked in SF tech cos for 10+ years before this, so I still have lots of friends and family in the bay. Sacramento is a great balance between moving away to somewhere with more space, less crowd, less expensive, and still being close enough to drive to see friends and family. COVID happened soon after I moved and sheltering in place here is much easier than the bay given that outdoors/parks etc. have so much less crowd.
