[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left the Bay Area at the end of last year with 3 kids. It's hard to say what salary to consider because there are a lot of factors to your financial situation outside of salary alone. Regardless, you would need signifcantly more than your current income to find something comparable to the life you have in DC. The housing itself is very expensive and you can expect a lot less for that money. The area is large and you would have to drive pretty far to find something more "affordable" The cost of housing itself is expensive but so are the property taxes and the utilities are signifcantly higher. Gas, groceries, etc. are also more expensive. The droughts and wildfires are also very difficult. We loved the area and would go back if we could but between finances and climate change it just wasn't a good fit for us anymore. [/quote] This is very helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience![/quote]
