If you're looking to move to the Bay area, you should also look at moving to the like Lincoln, NE or Omaha, NE or Kansas City. A lot more so if you have a family. I know that sounds strange, but.... The Midwest is cheap. Albeit harder

I remember not thinking that it was overpriced, but amazed that it became a threat to Facebook worth that in just like 2 years. If I recall correctly, it was a team of 13 at the time of that offer.
