As someone born and raised in the bay area it's not that easy. All my friends and family live here. I have a well paying job that I like here and I like my co workers. I have accepted that for as long as I live in SF, I will have to rent. I will never be able to own a home remotely close to SF or to my office.
I don't want to just run to a low COL city and start over. I would rather fight for lower housing prices so that one day I might be able to own a home and start a family where I grew up myself.

Sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone and take a risk. It's great that you want to fight for lower housing prices. But what happens if you fail? In 30 years if you're still stuck renting a tiny apartment will you have regrets? Pick your battles wisely.

Not OP but on the other hand my own parents did that, and that's exactly why I don't want to move away. I'd rather stay close to the family I cherish, my time with them is literally priceless. Luckily housing prices aren't so bad here, but my point stands
