I’m in this boat - 6 years in sf and my rent already seems so cheap by comparison. Any move I make now is. Move out the Bay Area. It is a pretty nasty choice. We have a nice house, but we either have to upend our life or stay put. Our rent is not cheap, but with the way rents have gone up, we can’t even downsize to a 2 bedroom unit to save money. So, we have 2 tenants in 3 bedrooms and rent control.
