We decided to give it a try two years ago and was probably the best decision of our lives. It has been so amazing to have new experiences, meet new people, etc.... Our life was great in the former residence of 30 years and life is better in the new one. We both agree though it took my spouse a year to come around. Just fwiw and to each their own of course.
I can't imagine how it's not at the top of the list... the bad list that is. Really sad. I think it will be a long while before SF comes around. However, the Bay Area in general is still a desirable place to live if you can afford it.
