Do it. We got probably 5x the amount of house than we could have gotten in the Bay Area and we don't have to worry about our car windows being broken. We now live close to nature and I'm in such better shape being able to trail run, mountain bike, and snowboard minutes away from our house.

    In all fairness, whenever someone says they left CA it's either Austin or (if they mention anything related to snow) Boulder or Denver. I've yet to hear anyone gushing about how they left SV for North Dakota or Alaska.

Please don’t, unless you’re willing to confront your own contribution to the situation you’re fleeing. Wherever you go, there you are. As someone in Colorado watching the influx of Californians with a dread and frustration over the past 10 years, the majority of newcomers seem to vote and live exactly like they did in CA, creating the exact same problems in CO that they ran from CA to escape.

  CA is the future. Transplants are just exporting it to your area.

  Watching from Spain, what do you mean "vote and live exactly like they did in CA"? Here in Spain more and more northern europeans come. I guess many of them are going to settle here (I get lots of questions about taxes and dealing with the spanish state, candid souls), so they contribute to the housing problem but I don't really see what they might import here that can worsen the situation besides their purchasing power. Also, being Sillicon Valley one of the most productive places on earth, why companies don't involve themselves in politics about housing and city planning? If I was some top head in such companies I woudl definitely consider it, as it goes directly against my floating line. If I manage to convince mayors that copying the netherlands onto the land around my offices I wouldn't need to pay so much and my engineers would be happier anyways. They are basically swimming in cash, so IDK, they are involved in politics anyway...

Not a disagreement, but only to point out bay area isn't just SF. Go south a bit and there isn't really a worry of getting car windows broken either and also plenty close to nature.
