   @deathkitten also feels like all the people who moved to many ‘cheaper states’ are also experiencing massive cost increases, and without the huge job opportunities in the Bay Area. Switching costs are always going to be high and this particular switch doesn’t feel super useful unless you’re moving to a place you’re from, or have huge networks in

     @papajohn @deathkitten I’m never moving anywhere without a nonstop flight to Singapore, for family reasons. My folks aren’t getting younger and this is important to me. This criteria also means.. cities with the same costs.

     @skinnylatte @deathkitten we moved to Florida a couple of years ago for family reasons but while it is cheaper than the Bay Area (and I got fairly lucky w/r/t remote work and the like) it's really not _that_ much cheaper, and if we didn't do it for family reasons we'd have regretted it for sure.
