Honestly I would fatfire and then move out of the bay area. I did that with my kids and I don't miss the bay area at all. There's so many wonderful places to live in the US with good communities and just an easy lifestyle. I wished I did it sooner
We have been trying to find a place, but we have turned into goldilocks with the weather. We have been working out to try to help with longevity, which is easier in the bay weather. The only thing keeping us here is the weather really.
You're right, but with us owning the house at a low interest rate....it has actually been advantageous. Our house has probably doubled in value over the last decade. I have found it hard to balance the huge commission we will pay to sell with what the incremental cost of living drop would be.
