Let's not forget though that there are quite a few reasons why a lot of people would prefer to live in the Bay Area vs. Kansas City.

Off the top of my head...

- The weather

- Stunning beaches, world-class skiing, hiking/camping, wine tasting, and more all within a couple hours drive

- Incredibly liberal

- A plethora of amazing food options representing pretty much every cuisine in existence

- Easy transit to Asian countries and that half of the world

- Strong concentration of tech jobs, giving employees leverage and reduced risk even in a down market

Rent alone is not always a factor, and there are often many sound reasons for the differences in housing and demand.
