No. We're full. Stay in SV please /s

There's good companies and bad companies, just like everywhere else.

Are you in PHX? I get the sentiment about us being full. Traffic on I-17/51S in the morning is hideous.

I was interested if the parent moved and maintained his (adjusted) total comp and was happy with his decision, or was happy despite a loss in total comp. Obviously there are good companies and bad companies everywhere. :)

(FWIW I'm not in SV)

I had a loss in total comp, however, my wife and I are not your typical consumerist-minded people, we like to save and invest. "Make half a million, but live like we make 100k" has kind of been our motto. The move to PHX was a drop in total comp, a net increase in the amount we could save/invest given the COL, and a much larger increase in total happiness.

I do not regret moving from SV one bit.

He’s probably gained much in COL. most of the SW is cheaper than SV by a large percentage.
