[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thinking about moving because of amazing job opportunity with great, people, pay and job itself but:
It’s Texas, hot, little natural beauty, not a lot of outdoors activities???

If you’ve spent time in both areas, please share.
Professional couple with plans of starting a family- but we’d like a slightly walkable neighborhood or easy access to restaurants and outdoors stuff.

You can not beat the Bay Area for restaurants and outdoor activities. Outdoor dining year round except most people don’t like to sit outside if it’s under 70 degrees even though there are heaters. We live in South Bay and it’s amazing. 30 minutes to Santa Cruz and the ocean, redwood parks and mountain hiking along the way, 4 hour drive to Tahoe or Yosemite, CalTrain to SF, 2 hours to Carmel. UC and Cal State offer great schools, community college to UC a very good option if money is tight or you want better options than your initial acceptances.

Downside is housing costs, traffic and expense.

Dallas, BIL lived there. The cities are liberal but you are still in Texas. BIL and partner moved back to the West Coast after about 10 years there. Not very walkable, much smaller choice of restaurants. So much cheaper though for housing,
