[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Living in the Bay Area now on a $500k hhi. We don't own. We tried but it's a crazy market. Our rent is $4200 a month in a not so desirable part of the East Bay for a 3-bed. We feel stymied and can only imagine how other families making less must feel. Hopeless comes to mind. Plus, the schools really are a mess here. Even the 10/10s for whatever that's worth. And the homeless camps are a heartbreaking reality. So much poverty, filth, and crime. I've had to call 911 several times as a witness to an assault. Yes, the weather is great and the access to the outdoors is amazing but we'll probably bail this summer after 3 years of trying to make it work. Oh, and traffic sucks! [/quote]

Where will you go next?[/quote]

Not totally sure yet![/quote]

NP. Do you feel like listing your shortlist options? We love SFBA for the people (tech, highly educated, farmers market lovers), the food, the weather and tons of indoor and outdoor things to do. Hate it for traffic, homeless explosion, filth. We were strongly considering DMV (hence how I found this forum) but honestly after spending several months on here, I'm not convinced that we'd like it or fit in. They seem to have a real disrespect for tech people[b], they don't understand nutrition, can't get fresh awesome produce year round [/b]because I guess there isn't the demand for it (and that's literally the bulk of what we usually eat, including the kids), some of the people seem really snobby about things that I personally wouldn't be proud to even admit, and the weather.... ugh. I know that there are always some nice people everywhere, but I wanted to increase the odds a bit. I feel like we look at a map of the US all the time and still have no idea where to go... any ideas? :) [/quote]

This is bizarre and isn’t true.  [/quote]
