I loved my time in the midwest, but I don't miss the winters - they were brutal, and it would often take until May or June until spring weather would come. I uniquely have friends around the world and spread out all over the US - location doesn't matter as much to me, since I could hang out with everyone I want. As a single man though, the Bay area makes a lot of sense for me as a result, since the pay still outpaces the cost of living for me. Being tired of wintry weather was also a huge factor in me migrating out west. There is a chance I might migrate south to the Austin area in the future, or back east to the NY or DC area eventually - I do miss the strong ties I have to the east coast from having lived there for most of my life, but Austin sounds attractive as a tech hub and due to more sane housing costs.
