Public transit is pretty good in MSP. Rent for homes is also reasonable. Schools are decent. And the commutes are not terrible if you do need to drive.

I moved from Sunnyvale to Chicago suburb cause I could not afford it anymore with a second kid on the way. Yes I do make less, it goes way farther though.

I'll bite my tongue about the perceived skill gap. It's been eye opening to read what some of my peers think on HN today.
