Have you looked into remote work? I love Reno and have been remote working here at several different companies for many years. Right now, it's fairly easy to get a good front-end web dev gig remotely that pays much closer to SV salaries than Reno ones.
Reno has really blossomed even in the last few years, but the jobs market, especially for skilled people, is abysmal. There's a bit of a chicken and egg problem as well since many people with enough talent realize that Reno's salaries are laughable and end up leaving. Right now there's not enough decent paying work to attract people to the city, but if you where to bring a company here that paid sane wages you'd have a hard time finding talent. I've known enough amazing UNR grads that migrate to the Bay to know that this city does have the potential. It's just a matter of that right window of a reasonable paying company being here and snatching up enough bright people before they move to the Bay.
But for remote work it's hard to think of a better place. Cost of living is very low, there's no state income tax, and SF is an easy 3 1/2 hour drive when you miss parts of the big city experience. Every other major West Coast city is a cheap and quick flight. And there are some really amazing people in this city. If you don't go already, head to Hack Night at the Reno collective some time, it's a great group.
