I went the other way, bringing my family from Raleigh to SF. There are tradeoffs, but its worth it overall for the cultural and natural amenities for the kids and for the chance to be in the heart of the tech industry.

I do sometimes think about moving back to have nicer housing, but our net income is much higher here despite the cost of living, so the option to “retire back” someday will probably always be there.
