Data point of one but my wife and I decided we were done and left earlier this year. Quit my FANG job that wouldn’t support the move, bought a house in a MCOL area and could not be happier.

Life is short people. Keep an eye on what’s actually important to you.

My property tax is in the single-digit thousands of dollars. I was able to get a concealed carry permit, but ironically, I only carry when I have to travel back to the Bay Area.
