Those who left SF Bay Area, do you regret it? Why or why not?

I'm currently thinking about moving to a different state as it makes sense financially, but I have an attachment with the Bay Area and what it offers (especially as an immigrant), so I'm hesitant to move. I'm interested to hear experiences of people who recently left.

I moved to Reno short term once covid hit and have zero regrets. Saving 1k a month in taxes alone. One thing I really appreciate is not having to wait in line for everything e.g. lunch, gas at Costco, post office, car service etc.

San Francisco, the city itself is a very different beast from the rest of the Bay Area.

Fuck no.

> Why or why not?

Even during the pandemic, NYC is an infinitely better city. Cheaper, too.
