It's no wonder so many have already left, or are seriously considering relocating. Naturally, when living costs are lower, wages drop as well, but to some of us, it's an even trade. I left the Bay area 20 years ago, with never a regret. My children were able to grow up in a small rural community, and have chosen to remain in this area with their families for the same reasons.
