A comment on Battle of the Tech Ecosystems: Boston vs. New York. Parent comment
Anecdotally, when I moved from Silicon Valley to Boston, my rent stayed the same price and but I got to live in twice as big a house.
Non-anecdotally, look at these real estate price maps.
Boston (Middlesex County, north side of the city): http://www.trulia.com/home_prices/Massachusetts/Middlesex_Co...
SF (San Mateo County, south of SF): http://www.trulia.com/home_prices/California/San_Mateo_Count...
You can buy a relatively large house within a few miles of downtown Boston for around $400k. I don't think that's possible in SF.
