I agree. When I left the Bay Area at the start of the pandemic, I felt a surprising surge of freedom.

The salaries and jobs in the Bay Area are great, but they come with the big caveat of choosing between (1) living near work, but spending a fortune to rent small, old apartments forever or (2) having a better living space, but with a nightmare commute.

Why would I want to return?

Same, it was like a big weight lifted off of me. Felt great, and feels great except for the company’s return-to-office date looming over me.
