My 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.
