Is anyone on HN thinking of leaving San Francisco? If so where are you headed?
- Semiapies 5y agoA more interesting question than this article. Maybe you should make it an Ask HN.
- baby 5y agoI left for 6 months and now returning because SO is scared that the job market isn’t as good elsewhere. (Eventhough her current contract is remote and my sf job became remote too)
- erik_seaberg 5y agoI’m guessing remote work during the pandemic (and unplanned loss of childcare and coworking space) has not been successful enough to convince management to make it permanent. But hey, some of us get to ride the Bay Area tech gravy train for a little while longer.
- troutwine 5y agoMy wife and I live in the East Bay but we're probably here for the long-haul. But, it's tough to stay. Most of our friends are not software people and it's challenging for folks to find good living situations here, so a lot of our friendships have become increasingly long distance. There's also this nagging sense I've got that kids raised here might end up being priced out of their home, unless they also happen to wind up in a high-paying career. Which, that's not bad if you want it necessarily but to grow up _knowing_ you have to end up in a high-income bracket or else you'll really struggle does weird things to people. Still, it is very pretty here.
