no, not by a long shot. It's expensive comparative to local socal jobs but not to tech salaries(both me and my wife work in bay area tech companies). For comparison I want to live in 3/3 bdrm house in a good school district that does not need a total overhaul. In the Bay Area, good school district cities (Palo Alto, Cupertino, Menlo Park, Los Altos, etc) all have houses priced close to $2M+ starting for a 3 bdrm house. In socal where I live now places are 800k - 1.1M and the schools are 9's & 10's. The mortgage we now have is 40% cheaper than the bay area house we had, and in the bay area all of our schools were 3's and 5's.

That sounds more like the South Bay. Try East.

Most of the South Bay is 8-10 for schools - it has literally some of the best schools in the country. Even in East Palo Alto you're looking at a 7 for HS. To get consistent 3-5s on the Western side of the Bay, you're probably in SF.

That's not true. There are many lower rated schools in Sunnyvale and San Jose. But it's inconsistent; there are pockets of high and low ratings even within single school districts.
