[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would move for the family and the weather, but East Bay has its own issues; it’s crazy crazy hot in summer and wildfires are growing risk (poor air quality for weeks).

The salary is a step down, so if happy with townhouses and living more ‘outside’ It’s a good trade off. [/quote]

I would not call 90 degree weather crazy crazy hot. We get that here plus humidity. [/quote]

This summer, for several weeks it was 110 in Contra Costa county, which is likely where OP will end up on his budget with school age kids and a SAHM.  That is crazy hot.  Its not as uncomfortable as here, but A/C is much ubiquitous here and more capable.[/quote]

A/C is not as ubiquitous in San Francisco  (where it rarely gets very hot) as it is in DC but it is in most of the East Bay, including the areas OP is considering. Also, it cools down much more significantly in the evening there than it does in DC. Even when in the middle of the summer when it gets brutally hot during the day, it often cools down enough by the evening that you can quite comfortably go for a walk or run outside before it gets dark & even open your windows & just use a ceiling fan instead of running the A/C while you sleep.[/quote]
You are bringing up memories of those old days, when fans helped and electricity was on during heat storms. [/quote]
